574-580 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 574-580 Haight Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing 4 residential units above a ground-floor retail space, currently owned by Louie Kayon & Patti L C Rev. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2013 costing $9,800, street space and sidewalk repairs in 2015, and various restaurant-related improvements in 2000 totaling over $25,000 for hood and exhaust systems, including a hood extension and make-up air system. A notable period of violations occurred in late 2000 related to unauthorized restaurant renovations, including concerns about disabled access and an unsafe building status, though these were abated by March 2001.

In recent years, there have been recurring concerns regarding the restaurant's operations and its impact on the residential units above. Most recently, in late 2023, there was a complaint about smoke from the restaurant triggering fire alarms in the residential building, and earlier in 2019, there were multiple complaints about flue fires and concerns regarding the hood and duct systems' adequacy. The building has also faced various fire safety inspections and violations, though most have been promptly addressed, including kitchen hood cleaning and fire extinguisher requirements in 2019.

Current maintenance concerns mostly relate to external issues like sidewalk cleaning and debris management, with multiple reports in 2024 about garbage and debris on the property. Recent inspections in 2025 indicated missing smoke detectors in common areas, though this was noted as having "No Merit" upon investigation. The property has a history of managing these compliance issues, as evidenced by the various "Abated" statuses on many complaints and violations, though the frequency of recent complaints suggests ongoing operational challenges, particularly related to the ground-floor restaurant's impact on residential units above.
