542-546 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 542-546 Central Avenue is a 3-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Robert Michael Singer. The building has undergone significant renovations over the past decade, with the most recent major work being the installation of new entry doors in January 2023 costing $10,586. Other substantial improvements include a $20,000 front façade restoration in 2018, which involved replacing corbels, repairing stairs, and re-stuccoing, and a comprehensive interior remodel of one unit in 2016 valued at $75,000.

The building's systems have been continuously upgraded, with the most recent addition being a Mustang Level 2 EV charger installed in April 2022. Historical issues from a 2003 inspection, including safety concerns about emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and gas shutoff tools, were all resolved by August 2003. The property has maintained regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine safety inspection occurring in 2017.

There were two expired permits from 2015-2016 related to bathroom additions, water heater replacement, and laundry installations, though these improvements appear to have been completed based on subsequent plumbing permits. Multiple electrical upgrades have been performed, including rewiring projects, installation of new circuits, and replacement of the main electrical system components between 2011 and 2016. Recent neighborhood activity has primarily consisted of parking-related issues, with numerous complaints about blocked driveways and sidewalk parking noted between 2023 and 2024, though these are external to the building's operations.
