1683-1685 Kirkwood Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1683-1685 Kirkwood Avenue in Bayview, owned by Li Zhao Xiong, has undergone significant changes since its construction in 1890. The property underwent substantial renovation in the early 2000s, including a $280,000 vertical addition completed in 2004, though this work initially faced complications resulting in multiple notices of violation for unpermitted rough framing that were finally resolved by December 2006.

The building's electrical system was comprehensively updated between 2004-2006, with installations for three meters, 200-amp services, and extensive lighting and receptacle work. The property has a documented history of issues prior to its recent improvements, including a fire incident in 1991, several complaints about unauthorized modifications in the early 1990s, and problematic occupancy behavior in 1998 when there were reports of improper sanitation practices.

More recent concerns have primarily centered around exterior maintenance and parking issues, with multiple complaints about illegal parking and garbage/debris on or near the property between 2024-2025. While the building underwent substantial improvements in the 2000s, resulting in its current configuration as a two-unit building, recent 311 calls indicate ongoing issues with parking enforcement and exterior maintenance, including reports of excessive noise and garbage. A notable cluster of complaints regarding parking violations and illegal parking patterns has emerged in late 2024, suggesting these may be ongoing challenges in the area.
