552-558 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 552-558 Broderick Street in Park North is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by the Low Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2003-2005, there was a substantial compliance matter regarding unpermitted construction involving additional dwelling units (552A and 552B) and unauthorized modifications to the garage door opening, which was eventually resolved.

More recent concerns included a 2019 violation for damaged/peeling exterior paint that posed potential lead hazards, though this was abated in 2021. The building's systems have required attention over time, with the most recent maintenance being the replacement of a 30-gallon water heater in 2023. Between 2012-2021, there were multiple fire safety violations that required correction, including issues with the central alarm system, fire extinguishers, smoke enclosure door, and combustible storage.

The property has experienced some plumbing issues, particularly in 2008 when there were complaints about bathtub drainage problems affecting multiple units. Recent records from 2024 show ongoing concerns with parking violations around the property, including vehicles blocking the driveway and parking on sidewalks, with multiple enforcement requests made throughout the year. Additional exterior maintenance issues have been reported, including concerns about tree overgrowth and debris on the property, though some of these have been resolved through city services.
