519-521 Ashbury St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 519-521 Ashbury St is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Welch Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, most notably a sewer lateral replacement completed in September 2023, and the installation of a 4.9 kW solar PV system with 22 roof-mounted modules completed in 2013.

The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, including multiple reroofing projects between 1990 and 2000, and various electrical upgrades including washer and dryer circuit installations in 2011 and a comprehensive electrical system upgrade in 2005. The building experienced a permit compliance issue in December 2020 when unauthorized work beyond the scope of an existing permit was reported, though this complaint was abated by October 2021.

The surrounding area has faced recurring sanitation challenges, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 reporting garbage and debris, including instances of human waste and graffiti. Three fire incidents have been recorded, though none involved civilian injuries or significant damage - these included a gas leak response, assistance to an invalid, and a malfunctioning smoke detector activation. The property has maintained its basic safety infrastructure, with no documented fire safety violations or serious building code issues since the 2020 complaint was resolved.
