519 Kirkham St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 519 Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1994 after the demolition of an earthquake-damaged single-family dwelling. The two-story building underwent significant maintenance and improvement work in 2005, including $75,000 in dry rot repair and siding replacement on multiple facades, followed by the construction of two rear decks, window replacements, and a kitchen remodel in 2005-2006.

Most recently, in 2013, the property was upgraded with a 3.57kW solar PV system installation. However, the building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly in August 2021 when three fire safety violations were issued for blocked exits and extinguisher maintenance, though these were subsequently rescinded.

The property has also faced civil service requests, including a sewage backup incident in 2017 and multiple reports of graffiti on utility property from 2018-2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and compliance efforts, including the successful resolution of multiple building permits and inspections, though there was a complaint in 2006 regarding unauthorized enlargement of a deck. While the building has received consistent maintenance and improvements over the years, the recent fire safety violations indicate a need for continued attention to safety standards.
