36 Card Aly, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 36 Card Alley in North Beach, owned by Christiaan E Vanderstaay, is a 3-story structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the years, most notably a $12,000 joist repair project in 2004 to address dryrot issues, and a kitchen exhaust system upgrade in 2003 costing $6,000.

The building experienced multiple violations in 2008, primarily related to safety concerns such as exit signage, door hardware, and emergency egress systems, though these were all abated by April 29, 2008. Recent issues have been concentrated in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris around the property, including reports of discarded furniture and appliances, though these were promptly addressed by city services. Two notable tenant complaints were filed in January 2013 regarding exterior paint condition and interior mold issues, and a separate incident in 2004 related to unauthorized construction work was documented but eventually abated in 2008.

The property has maintained basic safety compliance since the resolution of the 2008 violations, though it experienced some fire safety concerns in 2009-2010 with violations related to combustible materials and other unspecified conditions, all of which were corrected. Historical records from the late 1990s and mid-2000s show various maintenance and repair work, including general routine inspections and minor repairs, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts by the ownership. The building's most recent activity shows a pattern of waste disposal issues in 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned items on or near the property, though these have been consistently addressed by city services.
