47 Richland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 47 Richland Ave in Bernal Heights, built in 1904, is currently facing significant maintenance and safety concerns. Most pressing is an active lead paint violation from January 2019, related to damaged interior surfaces, which has resulted in multiple notices and requires proper paint removal procedures to eliminate potential health hazards.

The building's maintenance history shows ongoing issues, including a recent permit issued in September 2023 for dryrot and siding repairs on the garage area, costing $4,500. More than 15 years ago, in 2008, there was an attempt to install insulation and sheetrock in the garage area following a notice of violation requiring compliance updates.

Historical records reveal past structural concerns including a 2008 complaint about unauthorized construction of an illegal unit in the basement/garage area, though this violation was ultimately resolved. The property has maintained its classification as a flats and duplex structure throughout its history, and recent planning records note repairs to the building's siding to match existing materials. While not directly related to the building's condition, the surrounding area has experienced various municipal service calls in recent months, primarily concerning pavement defects, parking violations, and street maintenance issues, with several parking enforcement actions recorded between December 2023 and November 2024.
