525-531 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 525-531 Greenwich Street property is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, built in 1914 and currently owned by Koala Bear Holdings Llc. The building underwent significant renovations in 2012, including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system with sprinklers and alarms ($51,800), structural improvements to first-floor steel beams and wooden posts ($5,000), and various plumbing upgrades. Electrical work included a complete interior remodeling with a 400-amp service upgrade, installation of smoke detectors, and provision of modern amenities in all units ($520,000).

The renovations also included adding livable square footage through lightwell infill ($10,000) and the installation of an electric vehicle charging station. The building has had relatively few issues since the major 2012 renovations, with most recent concerns primarily related to street conditions and parking. A noise complaint about amplified sound was filed in July 2024 and remains open.

Multiple reports of human/animal waste and hazardous materials (glass) between 2018-2021 were addressed by city services, though these are external to the building itself. There was one construction-related dust complaint in February 2012, which was promptly resolved. The building's fire safety features have proven effective, with no civilian injuries reported in any past incidents, and all known fire safety concerns (including a blocked exit complaint from 2006) were corrected upon inspection. The property's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of safety systems, though some plumbing and electrical permits from 2012 did expire without completion.
