432-434 Kirkham St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story multi-family residential building at 432-434 Kirkham Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by Michael Shin Lung & Tam Hsu, was constructed in 1925 and currently contains three units. The property has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with major renovations occurring between 2017-2021 including the addition of an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) at the first floor completed in 2017, extensive kitchen and bathroom remodels on the second and third floors, and the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system including overhead sprinklers and a fire alarm monitoring system in 2017-2018.

The building underwent electrical system upgrades in 2017, including new service panels and wiring, and plumbing improvements including bathroom and kitchen remodels. However, there is an active building violation from October 2017 regarding unpermitted window installations at the front of the building, where seven windows were reportedly replaced with vinyl windows without proper permits or planning approval.

The property has also experienced some structural maintenance issues, as evidenced by a permit in 2017 for repairs to water and termite-damaged rear stairs. While there have been several parking-related complaints near the property recorded through 311 calls between 2011-2020, these do not directly relate to the building's condition or safety. A sewer/housetrap replacement was completed in 2014, and the building has undergone various system upgrades to improve safety and modernize its amenities, including the installation of multiple smoke detectors throughout the property.
