524 Point Lobos Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 524 Point Lobos Avenue in the Outer Richmond district was constructed in 1969 and is currently owned by William Yee Poon Revoc Tr. The building's history reveals significant fire safety concerns in 2001-2002, when multiple violations were issued related to smoke detector requirements in the lobby and stairwell, as well as other fire-related issues. During this period, a major investigation was conducted regarding unauthorized modifications to the ground floor, where inspectors found four rooms and a half bath behind the garage, with at least two rooms allegedly being used for sleeping, contrary to the building's legal classification as three apartments above the garage.

These violations were ultimately resolved through the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 1999 and other corrective measures in early 2002. Recent history shows the building has maintained compliance with major safety requirements since the early 2000s, though there have been various maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. These include reports of an illegal in-law unit (September 2002), unauthorized work (March 2002), and various shared space violations in late 2023.

The property has experienced routine municipal service requests, including reports of overgrown trees (September 2024), utility access point inspections (November 2023), and parking enforcement matters. A missing side sewer vent cover was documented and resolved in May 2022, and two animal care requests were made in October 2021. A fire-related incident involving water or steam leak was recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported. The most recent tenant buyout involved a separate property at 8300 Geary Boulevard in October 2022, affecting two tenants with a reported payment of $10,000.
