591-595 6th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 591-595 6th Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a 2-story multi-family residential building with 5 units, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by the Hirsch Family Trust. The building has a significant history of telecommunications infrastructure, with AT&T equipment being installed and subsequently removed between 2004 and 2018, including multiple modifications, antenna installations, and electrical upgrades. More recent building maintenance includes the December 2023 repair of trim molding and waterproofing work to address dry rot.

The building experienced a notable set of violations in 2017, which were resolved by June 2017, concerning fire safety (fire extinguishers), security (self-closing doors), and life safety equipment (carbon monoxide detectors). Current concerns include an active complaint from June 2024 regarding incomplete wall coverings in the commercial unit, and recent complaints about the condition of the vacant commercial space, with reports of plants growing from outside to inside the building. There were also complaints in late 2023 regarding lead paint removal work and dust control.

The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris, as evidenced by multiple Recology service requests in early 2025. The commercial portion of the building has a documented history of vacancy issues, with multiple complaints about the vacant storefront filed between 2019 and 2023. The building's electrical and structural maintenance appears to be ongoing, with several permits in recent years for various repairs and upgrades, suggesting regular attention to basic building maintenance requirements.
