401-499 Bay St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 500 Francisco St in North Beach is a multi-family residential building with 15 or more units, owned by the SF Housing Authority. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure updates in recent years, including a major sewer line replacement in January 2023, installation of new domestic storage tanks in 2019, and the addition of an employee restroom in late 2022 with associated plumbing and electrical work. The building experienced multiple building violations in 2019 related to maintenance issues, including painting requirements, light fixture repairs, and wall/ceiling repairs, all of which were abated by October 2020.

More recent concerns include a July 2023 complaint about a dilapidated bathtub and construction-related noise complaints in 2022 during Trader Joe's renovation work. The property has a history of water-related issues, with complaints in 2013 and 2014 regarding flooding during heavy rains, and a mold complaint in 2019. Recent maintenance activities have focused on accessibility improvements and solar panel installations, with two PV systems planned in 2022 (though these permits expired).

The building's plumbing infrastructure has received significant attention, with multiple permits issued for sewer connection work and maintenance. Regular inspections and routine maintenance appear to be ongoing, with the most recent routine inspection conducted in August 2023. The location has experienced several false fire alarms and detector activations, though none resulted in injuries, and there was one violation issued in 2008 related to permit requirements, which has since been closed.
