4654-4656 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The four-story multi-family residential building at 4654-4656 18th Street, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Paul R Yett Living Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced some important compliance issues throughout its history. The most recent substantial work occurred in 2022 when nine wood windows were repaired, primarily on the street-facing facade, at a cost of $15,248. In 2017, the building underwent a master bathroom remodel and bedroom improvements totaling $22,000, which included plumbing and electrical work.

The building's electrical system received major attention in the early 2000s, with multiple permits showing significant upgrades including the installation of various switches, receptacles, and panels, though some permits were cancelled and required renewals. Of particular note are several compliance issues from 2003 when the building underwent unauthorized modifications, leading to two building violations and a stop work notice in September 2003 regarding exceeded scope of approved plans and unauthorized removal of framing members. These violations were eventually abated by November 2003. The rear yard expansion was subject to variance requests that were eventually approved.

The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk defects in 2022 (sunken utility vault cover) and 2012 (damaged/uneven sidewalk), as well as reports of flooding and sewage issues in 2009. More recent infrastructure incidents included a streetlight replacement in 2012 and a water quality service request in 2015. The most recent recorded incident was a parking enforcement call in September 2024. Additional maintenance work has been performed over the years, including front stairs repairs in 2011 and various minor street space permits in 2018.
