1585-1587 20th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 1585-1587 20th Avenue property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Catherine S Lee Revocable Trust and constructed in 1977. The building underwent significant maintenance work in 2024, including the complete replacement of an old deck with new pressure-treated framing and Trex decking at a cost of $11,000. One of the most notable historical issues occurred in 2006 when a violation was filed regarding an unauthorized kitchen installation on the ground floor, which led to a series of demolition and restoration permits to return the building to its legal R-3 two-dwelling unit configuration.

This violation was ultimately resolved by September 2008, including the proper capping of water and drain lines and removal of electrical outlets. The building has had several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including rear side repairs in 2002 ($10,000) and vinyl siding installation in 1993. Recent activity at the property has been relatively minimal, though there was a construction noise complaint in May 2024 that was resolved by July 2024.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with the most recent significant work being the 2024 deck replacement project. The property has experienced some typical urban challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning and parking issues, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or operations. Two fire complaints from 2006 and 2008 were filed and subsequently resolved with corrected conditions, though no recent fire safety issues have been reported. The building's permit history and violation records suggest that any previous unauthorized modifications have been properly addressed and resolved.
