1018 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 1018 Columbus Avenue in North Beach is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1907, containing three residential units plus ground-floor retail space, currently owned by Louie Frank. The building has undergone several documented improvements and maintenance work, including a complete reroofing project in 2006 costing $5,880, and multiple plumbing installations in 2014, specifically the installation of various sinks including preparation, three-compartment, grease trap, and hand sinks.

The building's recent history has been marked by several concerning patterns. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with sidewalk blockage from scooters without license plates, with nine documented incidents between September and December 2024.

There have also been multiple incidents of garbage and debris requiring city intervention, including instances involving human waste or urine on the street, notably in October and December 2024. The property has experienced three fire-related incidents in recent years (2022-2023), involving open flame burning and combustible materials, though all were reported as "Condition Corrected." A significant cluster of fire safety violations was documented in October 2012 at an adjacent address (1040 Columbus Ave), including problems with exit sign visibility, occupant load signage, sprinkler service, door latches, and public assembly permits, though records indicate these were all properly addressed and closed.
