Located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, 46-48 Ramona Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, owned by Richard F. Dewey. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years.

Most notably, in 2017, the building experienced fire damage requiring deck repairs, which were completed at a cost of $5,000, with an additional $10,000 spent in 2022 to replace one footing. The building underwent condominium conversion in the early 1990s, during which time important safety upgrades were implemented, including sprinkler system installations in 1995 and a major foundation seismic upgrade in 1990 costing $23,800. In early 2022, the property faced multiple housing code violations that were subsequently addressed by April 2022, including issues with doors, windows, heating systems, and plumbing fixtures.

More recent improvements include the installation of new dedicated electrical circuits for baseboard heaters in February 2022. The building has had recurring issues with parking violations in the surrounding area, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls, particularly between 2022 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with vehicle access and parking enforcement in the vicinity. Additionally, there have been several reports of garbage and debris issues in the area, with the most recent complaint in December 2024 regarding abandoned furniture. While the property has experienced maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, the owner has generally responded to violations in accordance with city requirements, as demonstrated by the timely resolution of the 2022 housing code violations.
