592-598 12th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The Mary King Trust-owned 4-unit multi-family residential building at 592-598 12th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, constructed in 1918, is undergoing significant renovations in 2024-2025. Major recent improvements include roof replacement (completed in February 2024), comprehensive window replacement (April 2024, involving 28 windows on both 12th Avenue and Balboa Street sides), and kitchen/bathroom renovations (April 2024, including new cabinets, granite countertops, tiles, and hardwood floor refinishing).

The building's electrical system is also being upgraded with the installation of a new 200-amp service for the 4-unit building (issued May 2024). In September 2024, additional work was permitted to address deteriorated stucco and waterproofing on both street sides, with an associated cost of $50,000. The building has a history of inspections and violations, with a notable cluster of building and safety issues identified during a 2005 routine inspection that required attention to handrails, security features, window repair, and various safety concerns, all of which were abated by September 2005.

Earlier records from 1996 show a brief "no heat" complaint that was resolved within three days. Recent activity (early 2025) has primarily consisted of street cleaning matters, with multiple reports of abandoned garbage and debris, though these are external to the building itself and have all been resolved. Two fire-related incidents were recorded in the building's history: a false alarm and an unintentional smoke detector activation, neither resulting in injuries.
