4779-4781 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 4779-4781 18th Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood and currently owned by Stephen B. Ratchye and Wo Baik. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, with the most recent work completed in 2024 including electrical and plumbing updates for a bathroom remodel.

In 2022, the property underwent substantial improvements including moving partition walls to expand a bathroom, relocating various fixtures, and modifications to the kitchen. Previous important updates include the replacement of the electrical panel (2022), furnace installation (2021), and the replacement of rear decks at the 2nd and 3rd floors (2021-2022). The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with work on anchor bolts and plywood reinforcement in the garage completed in 2018, and historical upgrades including window replacements (2009) and roofing work (2001).

The property has experienced some recent cleanliness issues, with multiple 311 calls related to garbage and debris recorded throughout 2024, though these were primarily related to street cleaning rather than specific building maintenance concerns. A notable tenant buyout occurred in February 2018 for unit 4781, with one tenant compensated $77,700. The property has maintained compliance with various building codes and requirements, as evidenced by the completion and inspection of multiple permits, though some permits from 2023 and 2021 show as expired or cancelled, including a cancelled electrical permit for bathroom and kitchen work, and an expired plumbing permit for bathroom installations. The building's owners have consistently invested in upgrades and maintenance, focusing on both interior improvements and exterior maintenance, as shown by the complete records of various improvement projects spanning several decades.
