527-529 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 527-529 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by Patricia Van Giersbergen. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with major work completed in 2022-2024 including foundation replacement, electrical service upgrade to 400 amps, mechanical system replacement with a 3-zone mini-split system, and comprehensive exterior improvements.

These exterior works included removal of rotted entry porches, window and door replacements, front siding replacement with stucco, and a new rear building with powder room currently in process as of April 2024. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and living conditions, with improvements to plumbing systems including updated water lines, sewer fixtures, and tankless water heaters. There have been two notable building complaints: one in September 2022 regarding construction debris blocking the sidewalk during stair renovation work, and another in February 2023 concerning construction work in the rear building.

Both issues were addressed, with the 2023 complaint involving concerns about work scope and sidewalk usage. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years including a sewage backup (2015), street lighting problems (2015), and graffiti (2008), these have all been resolved. The building's recent improvements indicate ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with all major construction work properly permitted and completed according to building codes.
