4349 20th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 4349 20th Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades. Built in 1910 and currently owned by the Wesley T Chan Revocable Living Trust, this two-unit building has seen extensive modernization work between 2013 and 2014, including a major renovation project that sparked multiple building complaints due to work exceeding the scope of permits, particularly involving the entire back of the house. The renovation period included comprehensive updates to both units, with specific improvements to kitchen and bathroom facilities, window replacements, and electrical system upgrades.

Earlier improvements in 2011-2012 focused on bathroom remodeling and fireplace replacement. The building's infrastructure has received regular attention, including a roof replacement in 2000, front stair repairs, and various plumbing upgrades including a recent house trap replacement in 2022 and mini-split air conditioner installation. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly regarding external features such as trees causing sidewalk damage, with multiple reports between 2014 and 2022 about lifted sidewalk conditions.

There are documented concerns about pavement defects near the property, with cases from 2014 showing some resolution through city intervention. The building's systems have been systematically updated over the years, with recent plumbing work completed in 2022, and electrical systems receiving substantial attention during the 2013-2014 renovation period, although one major electrical permit from April 2014 was cancelled. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, with all major renovation permits eventually receiving final inspections, though some original permits expired during the course of work. The most recent building-related activity was recorded from 2022, with minimal recent maintenance issues reported.
