562 42nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 562 42nd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a multi-family residential building containing two units on a single lot, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Martin & Alexis Magnusen. The building underwent significant renovations in 2013, with major work completed in both the front and rear buildings including complete interior renovations, bathroom and kitchen remodels, electrical rewiring, and window replacements, with total permitted costs exceeding $200,000.

The electrical system received substantial updates, including a new 125-amp subpanel and comprehensive rewiring, though one electrical permit did expire. The property's maintenance history reveals one notable cluster of building violations from August 2002 related to water heater safety and seismic bracing issues, though these were abated by January 2003.

Recent history shows several operational matters requiring attention, including a sewage backup issue in July 2023, multiple reports of waste receptacles being left out in April 2023, and a noise complaint in October 2023. The building's management has faced scrutiny for short-term rental practices, resulting in a violation notice in 2019 regarding an illegal Airbnb listing, though this issue was resolved with penalties paid and the listing modified to comply with regulations. The property appears to be primarily residential in use, with all reported issues being typical of urban multi-family dwellings and no current violations or building code concerns on record.
