52-54 Eastwood Dr, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 52-54 Eastwood Drive is a 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1917, currently owned by Chen Jinyu & Si. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the past 25 years, with the most recent substantial renovation occurring in 2014, involving the addition of bathrooms in both units and other improvements at a cost of $82,000.

Notably, there has been historical controversy regarding the building's occupancy status, with multiple violations recorded in 2007 for unauthorized unit conversions, particularly concerning the detached garage, which was reportedly converted into living space with kitchen and bathroom facilities. These violations were eventually abated by October 2007, reverting the property back to its legal two-unit status. In recent years, there have been concerns about the property's compliance with zoning regulations, particularly regarding a 2022 complaint about the property's unit designation and occupancy restrictions, suggesting there was a requirement for the ground floor unit to be occupied only by senior citizens or handicapped persons.

The building has also experienced some maintenance issues as evidenced by a 2023 fire violation for overgrown grass and weeds, which was promptly addressed. The property has had limited recent maintenance records, with several open 311 calls from January 2025 related to various issues such as illegal parking and garbage concerns, though these appear to be more related to street conditions than the building itself. Recent inspections and complaints suggest ongoing scrutiny of the property's unit configuration and use, particularly in relation to its original RH-1(D) zoning designation.
