1659-1661 22nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1659-1661 22nd Avenue, located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1939, currently owned by Edward S. and Michelle C. Smith.

The two-story flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant upgrades over the years, including a solar installation in 2009 (11 roof-mounted PV modules), complete kitchen renovations in 2003 and 2005 with associated electrical upgrades, and a new water service installation in 2019. More recent improvements include the installation of an electric vehicle charging system in 2018, though a gas line extension permit from the same year expired without completion. The property has maintained its structural integrity through regular maintenance, evidenced by a 2009 reroofing project and earlier dry rot repairs from 1987.

The building has experienced some maintenance issues requiring municipal attention, particularly in recent months, with multiple reports of parking violations and driveway blockages between August and December 2024. Environmental improvements include the aforementioned solar installation and the 2018 EV charging station. The area around the property has experienced some infrastructure issues, as noted in recent 311 calls regarding pavement defects and construction plate shifts in December 2024. The property has not undergone any tenant buyouts, though neighboring addresses on the same block (1671 and 1691 22nd Avenue) have experienced these events, with the most recent occurring in 2018 involving four tenants at 1691 for $35,000.
