1721 Revere Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1721 Revere Avenue in Bayview, owned by Charles E. Scales, has undergone several significant events since its construction in 1907. Most notably, there has been an ongoing issue regarding the building's front entry stairs, which came to light in June 2021 when a complaint was filed about unauthorized replacement of the stairs without proper permits or approvals, resulting in safety concerns due to the absence of railings.

This violation led to multiple notices of violation between July and September 2021, though a permit was eventually filed in May 2022 for the replacement of the stairs at a cost of $3,200. The building's history also shows an illegal unit complaint in 1996, which was resolved by 1998, and a successful legalization of the second unit that same year. The property has had various municipal interactions in recent years, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to street maintenance issues such as garbage and debris removal, parking violations, and tree maintenance needs.

Of particular note was a report of a damaged tree in February 2024 and an open tree maintenance issue from July 2024. An approved planning record indicates that the front stair issue was ultimately resolved through approval per ZA bulletin no 4, confirming the required means of egress installation while noting that no planning code complaints or variances were necessary for this case. The most recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external maintenance matters, including multiple instances of garbage and debris requiring removal, while parking-related complaints have been addressed through standard enforcement channels.
