1876-1878 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1876-1878 9th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1948 and currently owned by Edmund C F & Hermancia Lai. Recent improvements to the building include a reroofing project completed in 2023 at a cost of $13,000, which followed previous roofing work in 1996.

The building underwent significant interior renovations in 2009, including kitchen remodeling with associated electrical and plumbing work, though some of these permits eventually expired. A serious cluster of building violations was documented in December 2015, relating to plumbing, electrical, and interior conditions, including issues with floor coverings, tub/shower repairs, damaged countertops, lead paint hazards, and the need for appropriate plumbing permits – all of which were officially abated by October 2022. Earlier structural modifications were attempted in 2003, with a proposal for a three-story horizontal addition to the rear of the building, though this application was ultimately withdrawn or cancelled.

The building has also experienced some safety concerns, including a fire violation in late 2019 regarding the storage of combustible materials and gas & electric meters, which was subsequently abated. The property has a notable history of parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019 and 2022 regarding blocked driveways and illegal parking, though these are external to the building itself. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned parking enforcement matters, with no recent building-specific complaints or violations recorded since 2022.
