1695-1697 20th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1695-1697 20th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Burton Jang Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced recent infrastructure challenges. Built in 1948, this two-story flats/duplex structure received substantial upgrades in 2017, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels costing $30,000, with associated plumbing and electrical work. Earlier improvements included seismic safety enhancements in 2013 with voluntary installation of holdowns, anchor bolts, and plywood on the first floor wall, as well as mechanical upgrades including furnace replacements.

The building's electrical system saw a major service upgrade to 200 amp with dual meters and subpanels in 2004. Of particular concern are recent infrastructure issues from September 2024, where multiple reports indicate flooding and water leaks on the street, though these issues appear to be external to the building itself. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and debris, including multiple reports of garbage and electronics on the sidewalk between September and December 2024.

There have also been two incidents of driveway blocking reported in September 2024, one resulting in a citation. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including reroofing in 1989 and stucco removal in 1984, though some permits from 2013 (furnace work) and 2004 (electrical service upgrade) are marked as expired. The most recent tenant buyout case nearby at 1736 20th Avenue was recorded in October 2023 for $52,000.
