2195-2197 17th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94116

The Shawn & Ann Chen Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 2195-2197 17th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Parkside neighborhood. Built in 1940, this flats-and-duplex-style property has undergone several significant renovations over the past few decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2017 when unauthorized modifications were made. This included repairs to address dry rot and the installation of new plywood on exterior walls, followed by a restoration of the stucco finish on three walls, along with the replacement of 18 vinyl windows and doors with Marvin aluminum-clad wood windows and doors, costing a combined $45,000.

A complete reroofing was performed in 2009, along with the installation of a solar panel system (16 modules, 3.22 kW) on the roof, demonstrating some commitment to sustainability. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, with documented dry rot and termite repairs completed in 1994. Recent activity in the vicinity of the property has been notable, particularly between September and December 2024, with multiple reports related to parking enforcement and sidewalk issues, including instances of vehicles parking on sidewalks and reports of abandoned vehicles.

There have also been several street maintenance and utility-related requests in the area during this period. A fire-related complaint was filed in March 2021, but was determined to have no merit. The property appears to have been mostly compliant with building codes and regulations, with no significant violations or safety concerns recorded in the available data; however, the unauthorized modifications in 2017 represent the only notable exception to this pattern of responsible property management.
