618-620 Pennsylvania Ave, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 618-620 Pennsylvania Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, owned by Walter E Hughes Jr & Emily and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with major renovations occurring between 2013-2015 including comprehensive electrical upgrades, kitchen and bathroom improvements, and HVAC system replacements.

In 2014-2015, the building underwent a substantial modernization project with an electrical service upgrade, new kitchen appliances, bathroom upgrades, and furnace replacement, along with related plumbing work including drain and vent modifications. The property had a notable cluster of violations in late 2012-early 2013, with multiple housing code violations identified in September 2012 regarding inadequate heating, broken glass, fire safety equipment, security, lighting, lead paint concerns, and various interior maintenance issues. These violations were all reported as abated by January 2013, suggesting they were addressed promptly.

A subsequent complaint regarding damaged doors and windows was filed in June 2013 and resolved by December 2013. More recently, from 2022 to 2023, the building has only required minimal maintenance, including the replacement of a non-street-visible rear window in December 2022. The property has experienced recurring issues with vehicles blocking the driveway, with three such incidents reported in 2023-2024, though these are unrelated to building maintenance or safety concerns.
