2509-2513 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 2509-2513 Van Ness Avenue, owned by Van Ness Union LLC, is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1901 in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, containing three residential units and a commercial space. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, with the most recent work including sewer lateral repair in 2023 and window repairs in 2021.

Major improvements have included multiple roof replacements (2020-2021), staircase reconstruction (2019), and extensive bathroom and window upgrades (2005). A concerning incident occurred in late 2017 when gas line installation was improperly performed, though this violation was abated by March 2018. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, including furnace replacements in 2018, gas line installations in 2017, and comprehensive plumbing work in 2009.

While there have been multiple fire alarm activations and some fire code violations recorded in 2006, these were primarily related to unintentional detector activations or construction issues, and no civilian injuries have been reported in connection with these incidents. The property has experienced recent neighborhood issues typical of the San Francisco area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding encampments and sidewalk cleaning needs, though these external matters do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The most recent building permits and maintenance work suggest that the property management has been generally responsive to infrastructure needs, though some past unauthorized work was documented in 2006-2007, which has since been resolved.
