160-162 Richland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 160-162 Richland Avenue in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1905, has undergone significant improvements over the past several years, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2020 when a $208,000 project focused on the rear accessory garage structure included a voluntary seismic upgrade, interior conditioning to create habitable space, and various improvements including a half bath, wet bar, dry rot repair, re-roofing, and new windows and skylights. Between 2012 and 2020, the property underwent extensive renovations including complete bathroom and kitchen remodels, siding repairs, and substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades to both units, featuring the installation of new plumbing systems, radiant heating with radiators and towel warmers, and comprehensive electrical rewiring throughout.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a successful foundation repair and kitchen remodeling project completed in 1995, though a roofing permit from the same year expired without completion confirmation. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks between 2021 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the vicinity.

While these parking incidents represent the bulk of recent complaints associated with the address, they are primarily environmental rather than structural or safety concerns. The property's documented improvements, particularly the seismic upgrade and comprehensive systems modernization, indicate significant investment in maintaining and upgrading the building's infrastructure, with all major renovation work showing proper permit acquisition and completion status.
