590-592 17th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The Cardarelli Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building, constructed in 1920 in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years. Most notably, recent complaints from March 2024 highlight concerns about work done without proper permits, including ceiling repairs showing dry rot, and reports of old carpet, faulty kitchen cabinets, and heater insulation problems.

In 2024, there were also complaints about no heat in the building. A series of building violations documented in 2013 revealed multiple safety and maintenance concerns, including issues with shower compartments, wall delapidation, fire safety requirements, ventilation, and the need for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, though many of these were marked as abated. The building underwent several improvements, including electrical service upgrades to 125-amp, 3-meter service in 2005, window replacements in 2006, and roofing work (though that permit expired).

The property has experienced recurring issues with water damage and moisture, starting with a 2006 complaint about water seeping around a window, and more recent concerns about mold, floor problems, and cracked bathroom tiles in 2013. There are also multiple recent complaints (from 2020-2024) regarding tree maintenance and parking issues in the vicinity of the property. The building's history includes a notable investigation in 2014 regarding potential code violations related to a window washing business operating from the property, which was ultimately addressed through planning enforcement. While many historical violations and maintenance issues have been resolved, the recent complaints from 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
