527-529 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The property at 527-529 Taraval Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Inner Parkside neighborhood. Built in 1945 and classified as a Flats & Duplex building, it is currently owned by Kenneth E & Sondra G Russi.

The building's maintenance history shows several significant structural and safety improvements over the years, including a 2014 gas house line extension project, 2007 installation of vinyl siding and energy-efficient windows, and earlier works such as a fireplace flue refurbishment in 1996 and a complete re-roofing in 1989. More recently, in the past year, there have been notable plumbing issues, including a sewage backup incident in October 2023 and a missing side sewer vent cover reported in September 2024, though the previous sewer backup in April 2021 was resolved. The property has experienced recurring sewer-related issues, with three documented incidents involving the 4-inch sewer vent between 2020-2024.

Other infrastructure concerns have been documented through 311 calls, including sidewalk defects due to tree roots (2019), pavement issues (2020), and graffiti incidents (2021). While many of these municipal service requests have been resolved, the ongoing sewer vent problems and the recently reported missing vent cover suggest persisting infrastructure challenges. The most significant recent building improvements, dating back to 2007, involved energy efficiency upgrades, including new siding and windows with improved insulation properties.
