Augrented Insights Report

The two-unit residential building at 542-544 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story structure built in 1908, currently owned by Kapur Tr. The property's maintenance record shows some past improvement efforts, including a window installation (1992) and reroofing work (1991), though both these permits have since expired.

More recently, in December 2024, there was a significant electrical infrastructure upgrade completed, with the installation of 200-amp overhead services, representing the most substantial building improvement in recent history. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking compliance in the immediate vicinity over the past three years, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks between 2021 and 2023.

Of particular note, there were seven documented cases of sidewalk parking violations between October 2021 and March 2022, with varying outcomes including citations issued and officers unable to locate the offending vehicles. While the most recent complaints regarding the property itself have been relatively minor, including toter management issues and occasional reports of abandoned vehicles (most recently in October 2023), the concentration of parking-related incidents in 2021-2022 suggests this has been a persistent concern in the building's immediate surroundings.
