527-531 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 527-531 Pierce Street in Alamo Square, owned by Olive Annearl, has experienced several notable maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's sewer system, which has faced multiple problems in 2024, including two sewage back-up incidents in July and ongoing issues with the side sewer vent, as evidenced by multiple complaints about damaged and missing vent covers between February and May 2024.

The building also has a documented history of heating system issues, with a complaint filed in April 2015 regarding inadequate heat, though this appears to have been promptly addressed within four days. The property, constructed in 1923 as a two-story flats and duplex structure, underwent reroofing in 2008 at a cost of $10,900, a significant maintenance investment for a building of its age.

More recent external concerns include two instances of graffiti in April 2023, which were recorded during an enforcement pause period related to the COVID pandemic, and a hazardous materials situation involving glass reported in March 2023 that remains unresolved. The building has also experienced some parking-related incidents, with documented cases of driveway blocking in both December 2023 and November 2024, though the most recent case was closed with no enforcement action taken.
