1944-1946 Great Hwy, San Francisco, CA 94116
The two-unit residential building at 1944-1946 Great Highway, constructed in 1947, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work in 2023-2024. The most substantial recent work involved a comprehensive interior renovation costing $565,000 in August 2023, prompted by roof membrane collapse and water damage affecting all floors. This was followed by several related improvements including rear stair rebuilding (October 2023), roof deck construction (November 2023), and the installation of new heating systems including multi-zone heat pumps (April 2024).
The property has seen extensive plumbing upgrades, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, installation of tankless water heaters, and replacement of shower pans (March 2024), as well as electrical improvements with rewiring of units and installation of a new 400-amp service (May 2024). The building's maintenance history reveals some concerning past issues, particularly a serious state of disrepair when it was reported as unoccupied in 1995, with problems including staircase disrepair and pest concerns. However, all major violations from the 2003 and 2016 periods have been resolved, including safety issues related to gas water heater installation (2016).
Recent improvements include the replacement of windows with fiberglass units, fence installation, and various safety enhancements. The property has experienced some neighborhood issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to parking concerns and street maintenance, but these are external to the building itself. The current owners, Sam Yam and Margaret Vong, have invested significantly in upgrading the property, as demonstrated by the numerous completed permits and improvements during 2023-2024.
