42-44 Richland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 42-44 Richland Ave in Bernal Heights is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1979, currently owned by Schwirn-yamaguchi Family 2014. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent being a bathroom remodeling project in 2022 that converted a tub to a walk-in shower and included electrical upgrades, completed at a cost of $16,000. Earlier improvements include comprehensive window and door replacements in 2008 ($21,600), kitchen remodels in 2009 for unit 42 ($15,000) including electrical and plumbing upgrades, and structural modifications to the second-floor kitchen area.

A notable enforcement action occurred in 2007 when an illegal in-law unit was demolished and its shower and kitchen removed. The property has experienced multiple maintenance and service calls in recent months, primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues. Between April and October 2024, there were several 311 calls regarding sidewalk parking, abandoned vehicles, and general cleaning needs in the vicinity of the building.

While these external issues were generally resolved by city agencies, they reflect ongoing challenges in the immediate neighborhood. The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance and upgrading of facilities, with particular attention paid to kitchen and bathroom improvements, window replacements, and compliance with modern building standards. The most recent renovation work in 2022 included both plumbing and electrical updates, suggesting proper maintenance of essential systems.
