17-19 Card Aly, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 17-19 Card Alley in North Beach, owned by Belinda Truong, has undergone numerous significant renovations since 2011, with the most substantial work occurring between 2021-2022. Major improvements in 2021 included a $78,000 project to install exterior wall insulation, electrical panels, and remodel a kitchen and bathroom, followed by necessary revisions in 2022 to address additional rotten wall studs and floor repairs in the kitchen area.

The building experienced several compliance issues, notably in 2021 when windows were replaced without proper permits, leading to violations that required replacement with historically appropriate windows in 2022. Multiple tenant complaints were filed in 2022 regarding work performed without proper permits, including reported unauthorized removal of interior walls and disturbances related to plumbing work. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, with records showing repairs to address dry rot in 2017 affecting roof landing platforms and back stairs.

Recent improvements completed in 2023 include significant electrical system upgrades, including the installation of a 200-amp service disconnect and three residential meters. Multiple 311 calls between 2018-2024 document issues with garbage and debris management around the property, though these were primarily exterior concerns. The building's recent history shows active management and maintenance, with multiple permits being properly pulled and completed, though some earlier compliance issues suggest past deficiencies in permit management and communication with tenants regarding work being performed.
