1559-1561 22nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1559-1561 22nd Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Karen Ying Yu Li. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, with the most recent work taking place in 2018 involving kitchen cabinet and countertop replacement. In 2010, the property experienced a series of interconnected issues requiring multiple repairs and inspections, including problems with furnace and water heater flues that presented health and safety concerns, water damage repair, and mold/mildew elimination.

These violations, which were officially documented and issued as Notices of Violation, were ultimately abated by May 2010. During this period, several permits were obtained for various improvements, including kitchen renovations, gas pipe replacement, electrical work, and furnace replacement. More recent history (2023-2025) shows ongoing issues with parking enforcement, with multiple citations issued for blocking the driveway between October 2024 and January 2025, though many complaints resulted in officers being unable to locate the violating vehicles.

The building's plumbing and electrical systems underwent documented improvements in 2010, including kitchen rewiring and gas line repairs, suggesting attention to maintaining basic infrastructure. There have been several complaints over the years regarding unauthorized units or illegal modifications, including reports of an illegal third unit in 2010 and possible unauthorized work in 2010, though these complaints appear to have been resolved by their respective abatement dates. The property underwent some structural improvements in 1999 with the construction of new fire-rated walls, indicating attention to building safety features.
