816 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 816 22nd Street, owned by John Ward and Lisa Mertens, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several notable improvements and repairs over the past decades, with the most recent significant upgrade being the replacement of five street-facing windows in August 2021, completed at a cost of $5,000 with energy-efficient custom wood installations.

Prior to that, in January 2016, substantial maintenance work was carried out on the exterior rear stairs, including the installation of new stringers and steps, while historical records from 1987 indicate past repairs were needed for fungus and beetle damage to the rear porch, though that permit has since expired. The building's maintenance and safety records show generally responsible upkeep, with one fire complaint in June 2010 that was determined to have no merit. The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal postings and graffiti in the vicinity, particularly in 2021-2022, though these incidents were promptly addressed by city services.

A pattern of driveway blocking incidents occurred between May and September 2021, involving different vehicles, with enforcement actions taken in some cases. More recently, there was a water service request in February 2022, which was transferred to the appropriate department. Two instances of loose garbage removal were documented in August 2019, suggesting occasional neighborhood cleanliness concerns.
