573-577 Frederick St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 573-577 Frederick Street, owned by Mike R Chang, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant maintenance and operational changes over its history. The building has experienced two fire-related incidents since 2003, both involving detector or alarm system activations with no actual fire or injuries reported. A notable cluster of fire safety violations occurred in 2003 and 2008, including issues with fire proofing materials, fire extinguisher requirements, and combustible storage concerns, though all these violations were subsequently abated.

Recent maintenance includes a 2022 permit application for intermediate length occupancy in Unit A, which is currently in filed status, and a series of street cleaning and maintenance requests in 2022-2024 that have been resolved. A significant repair project was completed in 2000 involving repairs to the rear base, concrete wall, lower deck, ground level stairs, and rear siding door at a cost of $6,000. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including a complete reroofing project in 2001 costing $8,500.

The most recent building complaint was filed in December 2015, concerning gaps between windows and leaks in the utility room ceiling, while routine housing inspections occurred in 2003 and 2008. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, mostly relating to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance matters, with the most recent being from October 2024 regarding illegal parking, though recent fire safety violations show no current activity impacting resident safety. The building maintains a relatively stable record since the 2008-2015 period, with no active building violations or major safety concerns noted in recent years, though the status of the 2022 intermediate length occupancy permit remains pending.
