492-494 Roosevelt Way, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 492-494 Roosevelt Way, owned by Kevin M. Cox and built in 1969, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decades. Most recently, in 2024, the property has seen substantial work to comply with physical inspection report CC-8630, including the remodel of the top floor kitchen and two bathrooms in unit 494, as well as updates to the laundry facilities and various common area improvements.

This work encompassed installation of common space subsoil drainage, water heaters, proper gas pipe supports, and waste/vent systems for washing machines. The building also received a shower pan installation in August 2024 and additional permits filed to legalize modifications to the rear patio deck and kitchen fixtures. In 2022, important safety improvements were made with the replacement of three Federal Pacific stab lock panels with Siemens panels, addressing potential electrical hazards. Historical records show earlier renovations including a complete re-roofing in 2017 and significant kitchen and bathroom remodeling work in 2005-2006.

The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance matters, including a fire complaint in 2021 related to blocked exits (which was resolved within two weeks), and some water-related issues in 1996 involving dry rot repairs. Recent 311 calls between 2022-2024 have primarily concerned exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti, pavement defects, and sidewalk conditions. Two applications for a variance regarding rear yard setback requirements are currently under review by the Planning Department. The building history suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading efforts by the owner, particularly focused on addressing safety concerns and complying with modern building standards, though recent graffiti and street defect reports indicate some external maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity.
