541-547 Linden St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 541-547 Linden St in Hayes Valley, owned by Kenneth Shroyer, has a notable history dating back to its 1895 construction, with several significant events on record. The building has experienced multiple fire-related incidents, with three documented incidents between 1988 and 1998 causing damage that required substantial repairs. In 1994, fire damage prompted work on exterior walls, and in 1998, repairs were needed for damage affecting two units.

More recently, in 2019, a routine safety inspection was conducted by Housing Inspection Services, though no active violations were noted. A concerning incident occurred in 2011 involving allegations of an illegal welding workshop in the basement with gas tanks and a strong gas smell, though this was resolved within nine days. The building has undergone several maintenance and repair projects, including deck repairs and stair replacement in 2001 (costing $14,000) due to dry rot issues, with subsequent revisions in 2002.

Multiple routine safety inspections have been conducted over the years, with the most recent one in 2019. The property has been the subject of frequent parking enforcement actions in recent years, with at least five documented cases of blocked driveways between 2022 and 2023, all of which resulted in citations. Street cleaning issues have also been noted, with several reports of loose garbage in the vicinity between 2022 and 2023.
