527-529 Birch St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 527-529 Birch Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1912 and currently owned by Tallulah Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple maintenance challenges over its lifetime. The most recent major administrative action occurred in April 2023, when records were reviewed and verified regarding the building's unit count.

In 2012, the property underwent substantial renovations including bathroom and kitchen remodels in both units, with new fixtures, cabinets, and lighting installed, along with furnace and water heater replacements. The building experienced notable issues in October 2000, when multiple violations were recorded related to plumbing problems including water leaks, sink and toilet drainage issues, and damaged ceilings, though these were all abated by March 2001. More recently, the property has had several minor incidents recorded by the fire department, including multiple smoke detector activations (all determined to be unintentional), a carbon monoxide incident, and a water or steam leak, none of which resulted in civilian injuries.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with various plumbing and electrical improvements documented through permits. A recent series of 311 calls in late 2024 primarily concerned street-level issues such as lighting problems and garbage concerns, which were addressed by municipal services. The property's records also indicate a 2-lot subdivision has been approved, suggesting potential for future development considerations.
