585-587 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 585-587 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Chen Mei Yi. The most significant recent building improvement occurred in 2004 when substantial renovations were completed on the ground floor, adding new living spaces including a bedroom, study room, two full baths, storage areas, and a laundry room, with the work valued at $68,000.

This renovation was accompanied by electrical upgrades including the installation of new panels and additional electrical fixtures. The building underwent reroofing work in 1994, though records show this permit expired.

Of particular note are the recent sanitation issues surrounding the property, with a total of ten documented garbage and debris incidents reported between October 2024 and January 2025. Most of these incidents involved loose garbage, furniture, and electronic debris on the street and sidewalk, though all cases were eventually resolved by various city agencies including Recology and Public Works - Street and Environmental Services. The frequency and nature of these recent cleanliness issues, occurring roughly once a month, may impact resident quality of life and neighborhood aesthetics, though none of these incidents occurred within the building itself and all were promptly addressed by city services.
