885-887 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 885-887 San Jose Avenue in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1994, has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over its lifetime. Most recently, from 2016, substantial improvements were made including the conversion of a half bath to a full bath and various kitchen modifications in both units, as well as compliance work following physical inspection report #CC-8054. Earlier renovations in 2013 included kitchen cabinet replacements and hardwood flooring installation.

The building experienced termite damage in 2009 that required repairs, and there was a complaint filed in December 2013 regarding an alleged illegal unit in the garage, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. More recent activity at the property has primarily involved exterior maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 related to garbage disposal, graffiti, and parking violations. Of particular note is a pattern of graffiti incidents involving a fire hydrant in late 2024, and there are currently open cases for graffiti and amplified sound from November 2024.

The building's history also includes some fire safety concerns, with a 2005 violation for operating without a permit, though this was promptly closed on the same day it was issued. The property's renovation history suggests ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by the owners, Jeffrey W. Young and Teresa Ch, with particular attention to unit modernization and code compliance.
