170-174 College Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 170-174 College Avenue in Bernal Heights is a one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently registered as a duplex with two units under the ownership of Stanley Hong Separate Prpty. The building's history reveals significant regulatory challenges surrounding its unit configuration, with an attempted legalization of a third unit in 1985 (cancelled) and a failed attempt in 1983 to secure a variance for off-street parking related to this unit.

Eventually, parking issues were addressed through legal variance processes in 1987, while records indicate the building was officially reverted to two units in 1981. The property has undergone several documented improvements, including two kitchen remodels in 1997 and 2001, and repairs to rear stairs and landings in 1997. Three routine housing inspections in 1999, 2008, and 2011 were completed without any noted ongoing concerns.

More recently, there have been numerous reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity (between October 2024 and December 2024), though these are external to the property itself. There were also two instances of garbage and debris complaints (November 2024) near the property, one of which was resolved, and a PUC billing matter that was addressed. The most recent significant structural work on record remains the kitchen improvements and stair repairs from the late 1990s and early 2000s, with no major violations or safety concerns documented in recent years.
