1617 Kirkwood Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1617 Kirkwood Ave in Bayview, owned by Yu Junying, dates back to 1933 and contains two units. The property underwent significant structural changes in 2005, when a major addition was completed that included both horizontal and vertical expansions, adding two stories and a second unit at a cost of $256,000.

This work led to a series of permit finalization issues that resulted in multiple building violations between 2010 and 2017, though these violations were ultimately abated in early 2017. More recent improvements to the property have included kitchen renovations in 2017 ($2,000), installation of new gas lines, and updates to the building's electrical system including a new 200-amp service. The building has required several permit renewals and final inspections over the years, indicating some previous work had not been properly completed or documented.

Recent maintenance issues have been noted, particularly in late 2024, with concerns about a missing side sewer vent cover and collapsed sidewalk, though inspection results varied. The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024-2025. Three significant historical complaints were filed against the property: in 2010 regarding permit compliance issues, in 1998 concerning access to common sewer facilities, and in 1994 related to illegal occupancy for business use, though all have been resolved.
