514-516 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 514-516 3rd Avenue property is a 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, built in 1922 and containing 4 apartment units. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with foundation repairs and stucco replacement completed in 1990 following earthquake damage. In the early 1990s, there were significant interior modifications including the removal of various fixtures such as bathtubs, sinks, and kitchen appliances, along with the creation of two new ground floor storage rooms.

A notable cluster of fire safety violations was recorded in December 2015, including issues with fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide alarms, and a door closer requirement, though these were all successfully abated by March 2016. More recently, in 2023, there was a complaint regarding unpermitted construction work, which was investigated and resolved by April 2023. The property has experienced some infrastructure issues, with two sewage backup incidents reported in October 2024 from a side sewer vent.

A recent public works complaint from July 2024 remains open. The building has undergone several routine housing inspections between 2001 and 2015, typically with no significant findings. Parking-related issues around the property have been frequent, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking and driveway blocking between 2021 and 2025, though most of these cases resulted in enforcement officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles or resulted in citations being issued. The owner of record, Yee Soo May 1991 Revocable, has maintained ownership of the property since its construction.
