809 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 809 Columbus Avenue in Russian Hill, owned by Edwin Low, has a documented history dating back to 1908 and has undergone several significant renovations. Most recently, in 2016, the property received substantial updates including hallway bathroom remodeling (with associated plumbing and electrical work), reroofing, and street space modifications, all of which were properly permitted and completed.

The building has experienced minimal regulatory issues, with only one building violation recorded in 2005 concerning unpermitted plumbing work, which was promptly addressed within two weeks. The property has undergone regular maintenance over the years, including siding replacement, concrete repairs, and a 1996 roofing project, though the latter permit expired without completion records. Recent activities have primarily consisted of infrastructure maintenance and improvements.

In late 2023, there was a complaint regarding construction noise and an unpermitted metal sign installation, though this complaint is currently not active. The surrounding area has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk blockages and garbage accumulation, particularly during 2024, with multiple reports of unlicensed scooters blocking the sidewalk and various debris including human waste requiring resolution. A tree maintenance issue potentially causing property damage was reported in October 2024 and remains open as of the latest data.
