1746-1748 La Salle Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 1746-1748 La Salle Ave is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Ho Kam Sau. The building has experienced several significant events, most notably a building fire that required substantial repairs in 2009, including the replacement of fire-damaged ceiling and roof joists at the rear of the house, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and the addition of a new rear deck.

During the 2009 renovation period, multiple building violations were recorded, including work exceeding permitted scope and issues with suspended permits, though these were ultimately resolved. The building has a history of gas-related safety concerns from 1995-1997, culminating in a stove explosion in 1996, with documented gas shut-offs by PG&E. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior concerns, with multiple 311 calls between 2021-2025 regarding garbage and debris on the property and sidewalk, though most of these cases were resolved promptly.

Current open issues as of October 2023 include concerns about overgrown trees potentially damaging property and lifting sidewalk sections. The building underwent significant improvements in 2010, including electrical upgrades (installation of lights, switches, receptacles, and a fan) and plumbing work (installation of a new heater). Historical records show earlier renovation work in 2001, which was initially subject to a building violation for unauthorized ground floor construction including drywall, plumbing, electrical work, and window replacements, though these issues were eventually abated.
