516-522 Linden St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 516-522 Linden Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1890, is currently owned by the Michael & Donna Hu Hong Rev Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over its lifetime, most notably a series of violations in 2009 that resulted in multiple safety issues, including problems with handrails, stairs, plumbing, electrical systems, and garbage receptacle placement.

These violations, all of which were addressed and abated by April 30, 2009, prompted the installation of new handrails and guardrails at a cost of $1,200 to improve safety compliance. Other historical maintenance work includes a reroofing project in 2000 (permit expired) and structural repairs to the porch, stairs, and beams in 1988. The building has been subject to regular safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2011.

Recent issues around the property primarily involve parking enforcement, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking between 2022-2024, and a few instances of garbage and debris concerns. In May 2024, there was a report of graffiti on the sidewalk in front of the property that remains open as of October 2023. The property has generally addressed violations and maintenance issues promptly when they arise, though some recent parking violations continue to be reported in the vicinity.
