552-566 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 552-566 Columbus Avenue in North Beach, owned by the Anthony Mcinty Trust, was constructed in 1909 and contains 7 units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues over the past two decades. Most notably, Unit 558 received substantial improvements in 2014 including kitchen and bathroom remodels with associated electrical and plumbing work, though some permits for this work later expired.

The building experienced multiple plumbing-related challenges in 2013, including unauthorized work and water issues affecting the basement, which resulted in violations that were eventually abated. Recent concerns have emerged regarding Unit 562, with multiple complaints filed in late 2024 about various maintenance issues including heating problems, ceiling leaks, and rodent infestations. The building's mechanical systems received attention in 2021 with a fire safety violation related to exterior door access, though this was subsequently rescinded.

Historical permits indicate various infrastructure improvements, including a 400-amp service upgrade in 2007 and multiple bathroom and kitchen renovations. The property has also faced challenges with garbage management and debris issues as evidenced by 311 calls in late 2024. While the building has maintained compliance with most regulatory requirements, the recent combination of habitability issues in Unit 562 and the 2021 fire safety violation suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property, particularly regarding unit-specific systems and infrastructure.
