1628-1630 48th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

This three-story multi-family residential building, located at 1628-1630 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, is a duplex property built in 1979 and owned by Sabina Chrystal Yuen. The building has experienced several significant events throughout its history, most notably a series of kitchen fire incidents between late 2015 and early 2016 that required substantial repairs totaling $40,000, including electrical upgrades, sheetrock installation, and kitchen remodel work. The property has a documented history of maintenance and repair work, including a vertical addition completed in 1990, stucco repairs in 2011, and various plumbing and fire safety improvements.

The building's maintenance record includes addressing serious health and safety issues, such as a 2003 plumbing emergency involving sewage problems and subsequent pest infestations, and a 2007 mold issue that reportedly caused breathing problems. The property has also faced some regulatory scrutiny, with a 2014 complaint regarding potential illegal units and suspicious activities, though this case was marked as not active. Recent activity around the property has seen recurring issues with sidewalk parking violations documented through multiple 311 calls in 2024, along with some noise complaints.

While there have been three fire complaints on record between 2006 and 2015, two were determined to have no merit and one was resolved with conditions corrected. The building's fire history includes only minor incidents with no civilian injuries reported, specifically a water problem and a smoke scare. In 2017, tenant buyouts were recorded for a neighboring address (1636 48th Avenue), totaling $22,300 for one tenant, though this is unrelated to the current unit's occupancy status.
