1734-1736 La Salle Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1734 La Salle Ave is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood. Built in 1900, the building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past few years, particularly between 2020 and 2024. Most recently, in 2024, the lower unit received substantial updates including new insulation, drywall, kitchen cabinets, bathroom renovations, and associated plumbing and electrical work, with a reported cost of $30,000.

The building has seen major restorations following a fire incident in 2021 that affected both the third and second floors, with repairs to fixtures, finishes, and systems including the roof and furnace costing $120,000. Prior to this, in 2020, comprehensive upgrades were made to the third-floor unit including kitchen and bathroom remodels, drywall replacement, and electrical service upgrade to 200 amps. The property's history includes a significant complaint from 1997 regarding structural and maintenance issues including a collapsed ceiling, roof leaks, and a sinking kitchen floor, though these issues were officially abated by 2007.

The building's recent permit activity suggests substantial investment in modernization and compliance with current building codes, particularly focusing on energy efficiency through insulation improvements and window replacements. There have been multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance between 2020 and 2024, though these appear to be external to the building itself. A sewage backup issue was reported and resolved in December 2021, representing the most recent plumbing-related incident on record. The property has undergone numerous improvements to both units, addressing safety, efficiency, and aesthetic concerns, with all recent permits showing completed or final inspection status as of 2024.
