1624-1626 Kirkham St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 2-unit residential property at 1624-1626 Kirkham Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood is a 3-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1944, currently owned by Thein Family Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work completed in December 2022 involving kitchen and bathroom remodeling on the second floor, along with associated plumbing and electrical work costing $23,500.

Between 2014 and 2015, substantial improvements were made including the addition of a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, relocation of laundry facilities, and comprehensive renovations of Unit 1626's kitchen and bathroom, with these projects totaling approximately $65,000. The building's systems have also been updated, including the installation of a new electrical panel and gas/water meter upgrades in 2014, and roof replacement work was undertaken in 2007. Recent activity at the property has raised some concerns, notably a building complaint filed in June 2024 regarding work done without proper permits and possible illegal changes of use, though this complaint was abated by mid-July 2024.

The property has experienced multiple fire department responses over the years, primarily related to smoke detector activations (most due to malfunction) and one cooking-related incident, though all incidents resulted in zero civilian injuries. Infrastructure-related improvements have been consistently performed, including a house trap replacement in 2018 and various utility upgrades. The building has experienced some outside issues in recent years, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and sidewalk clearance, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety.
