552-558 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The multi-family residential building at 552-558 Central Avenue in Park North is a 2-story, 4-unit structure built in 1900 and currently owned by Spff Lp. The building underwent significant renovations in 2009-2010, including the installation of a comprehensive new plumbing system, fire sprinkler system in the garage, and complete electrical rewiring with updated safety features such as smoke detectors.

A notable fire incident occurred in April 2007, resulting in damages exceeding $30,000, though the building has since been restored and improvements made to safety systems. The property received a routine housing inspection in 2004 that revealed several safety concerns, including required smoke detectors, fire extinguisher maintenance, and stair repairs, all of which were abated by February 2005. Recent maintenance and safety improvements included the installation of a residential elevator in 2010, though there was one complaint in 2011 regarding unauthorized concrete paving of the front yard.

The building has generated multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily related to street maintenance issues such as graffiti, garbage, and tree concerns, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition. A recent planning record indicates activity regarding rear yard variances for stairs and deck replacement, which was approved. As of now, there are no active violations or complaints directly related to building safety or maintenance, suggesting that the most pressing issues from the past have been addressed through various improvements and upgrades.
