534-536 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 534-536 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1919, currently owned by Alan K L & Adrienne B Scrog. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof in 2003-2006 (with associated electrical work completed), a complete reroofing in 2004 costing $30,500, and substantial exterior improvements in 2008 including repairs to brick entry stair walls, restoration of porch detailing, and replacement of railings at both porches totaling $11,000.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance and compliance issues, particularly during the late 1990s and early 2000s, including complaints about water leaks, blocked fire escape ladders, pest infestations, and various construction-related concerns. More recent history shows some infrastructure issues, with a sewage backup incident reported in October 2024, and periodic concerns about street cleaning and garbage management as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2023.

Two fire incidents were recorded, though both were relatively minor involving unintentional alarm transmission and electrical wiring issues, with no civilian injuries reported. While the building has undergone significant modernization through solar improvements and various renovations, it has a documented history of maintenance challenges that required external intervention, particularly during the transition period to its current ownership.
