530 33rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 530 33rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Lee Emeral, has a documented history spanning several significant structural modifications and recurring maintenance issues. Built in 1987 as a two-story flats and duplex structure, the building underwent several major improvements during construction, including a horizontal extension with fire escape installations in 1986 and a one-story addition completed in 1985.

More recently, the property has seen substantial mechanical upgrades, with two new furnaces installed in January 2024, though one permit from earlier in the month had expired. The building's most pressing current concern revolves around an ongoing pattern of sewage-related issues, with eight documented incidents of sewer problems between December 2023 and January 2025, including multiple incidents involving 4-inch sewer vent discharges.

These disturbances, which have occurred roughly every month from December 2023 through January 2025, suggest a persistent plumbing infrastructure challenge that has required regular attention from PUC Sewer Operations. In addition to the sewage issues, the property has experienced various other maintenance matters typical of residential buildings, including a $12,000 reroofing project permitted in 2022. Recent administrative interactions with the Rent Board have involved inquiries about housing fees, with the most recent case being resolved in January 2025.
