1674 Kirkwood Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 1674 Kirkwood Avenue, owned by Han Gang and Geng Juanjuan, has experienced several significant events since its construction in 1915. Most notably, in July 2021, the building suffered fire damage that rendered both units temporarily uninhabitable, affecting the garage, ground floor, and second floor of Unit B, with damage requiring repairs to walls, ceilings, electrical systems, and plumbing ($6,200) which were completed by March 2023. The fire incident triggered multiple complaints, including concerns about unpermitted demolition work and potential asbestos exposure, which remain active as of October 2021.

Prior to the fire, the property underwent substantial improvements, including a 2020 project to convert the basement into a new 427 sq. ft. unit with two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and living room ($97,821) - this work appears to have been completed.

In 2014, ground floor remodeling was performed to add two bathrooms and a family room, including necessary plumbing and electrical work ($50,000). The building has had periodic maintenance issues, as evidenced by a 2019 complaint about water and sewage leaks and multiple recent 311 calls regarding parking violations and general cleaning needs, though these do not directly affect the building's habitability. The property has been the subject of multiple permits and planning approvals, including conversion of habitable rooms at the rear of the ground floor into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with no exterior modifications required.
