820-824 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 820-824 22nd Street, owned by Benderly Ari and constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade. Most recently, in 2024, the property received updates including the installation of venting skylights, attic insulation and drywall work, and the addition of an attic sub-panel.

The building's history reveals attention to structural and safety concerns, particularly following a 2018 incident where a car crash caused damage to the front stairs, which required repairs in-kind. Previous improvements include comprehensive plumbing work in 2011 (new house trap, sand trap, area drains, backflow prevention, etc.), electrical upgrades with multiple circuits and outlets, and various exterior maintenance projects during 2011-2013 including siding replacement, roofing work, and skylight legalization. The property has experienced several regulatory and safety inspections, with violations noted in 2010 regarding stairs, security locks, and smoke detectors, though these appear to have been addressed.

Two significant complaints were filed in 2012 related to unauthorized exterior work, which prompted the legalization of skylights and siding modifications. Planning records indicate ongoing efforts to maintain the building's historical character, with approved projects focusing on restoring the facade, replacing windows, and addressing skylight installations. While there have been various 311 calls regarding the property's surroundings (including reports of sidewalk blockage, graffiti, and waste) and some infrastructure issues like roof leaks in 1998, the building has generally maintained compliance with safety and building regulations through regular inspections and permitted improvements.
