1405-1407 29th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1405-1407 29th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Bo-kin Wong, has undergone several significant changes since its construction in 1947. Most notably, starting in 2015 and continuing through 2018, there were concerted efforts to legalize additional living units in the building, particularly on the first floor, with permits totaling approximately $62,000.

The property experienced substantial damage from a fire in 2006, requiring comprehensive repairs costing $40,000, along with electrical system upgrades, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, completed in 2006. Water damage repairs were also performed on the ground level in 2008 at a cost of $5,000. The building has faced several compliance issues over the years, with three notable complaints about unauthorized construction work in the garage/studio area between 2013 and 2021, though these cases are currently listed as "Not Active." There was also a heating system complaint in 1998 that was promptly resolved within two weeks.

The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued between 2018 and 2023. Recent 311 calls from 2020 to 2023 primarily relate to parking violations, including illegal parking and blocked driveways, though a few other issues were reported and resolved, such as human/animal waste removal and abandoned vehicles. The building's current status is marked as "Legalize as Built Unit" according to planning records, indicating that recent efforts have focused on achieving proper permitting and legalization of previously unpermitted spaces.
