535-537 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

This two-unit residential building, located at 535-537 Central Avenue in the Park North neighborhood, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades. The most substantial work occurred between 2003-2005 when an ambitious project estimated at $100,000 aimed to expand the basement storage space, add a first-floor bathroom and two bedrooms, along with other improvements, though many associated permits expired. Recent improvements have focused on internal upgrades, including multiple window replacements, electrical system upgrades, and insulation work.

Between 2015-2017, the building received various modernizations, such as kitchen improvements, bedroom renovations, and electrical upgrades, including the installation of recessed lighting and the addition of new electrical circuits. A plumbing upgrade in 2016 updated kitchen and bathroom fixtures. The building has experienced some notable issues over its recent history.

In 2015, there was a complaint regarding alleged unpermitted remodeling work, though this complaint is no longer active. More recently, between 2021-2024, there have been several parking-related incidents near the property, including three documented cases of driveway blocking in 2023, for which citations were issued. The property has also faced some minor maintenance challenges, including a report of garbage and debris in 2024 and an open pavement defect complaint from June 2024. While the building's recent permit and maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, the parking enforcement issues and occasional graffiti reports in the surrounding area suggest some neighborhood management challenges.
