569-571 Buena Vista Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 569-571 Buena Vista Avenue, owned by the Katzman/Owen Family Trust, was constructed in 1904 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years, with the most notable being the installation of a four-story residential elevator in 2019-2021 to facilitate aging in place, at a total cost of approximately $86,000. The building has received substantial maintenance attention, including multiple roofing projects with costs ranging from $9,000 to $13,000 between 2020-2021, and dry rot repairs including the replacement of a column in 2013.

Recent records indicate two sewer backup incidents in 2022, and one in early 2024, suggesting an ongoing infrastructure challenge. The property underwent a rear yard addition variance approval, indicating previous expansion work. Regular maintenance and safety improvements such as the installation of gas inserts (2021), and various structural modifications demonstrate active property upkeep.

Historical records show earlier significant work including chimney removal (1998), driveway widening (1993), and a horizontal extension addition (1987), marking the building's evolution over decades. The property has had several general service requests in recent years, primarily related to rent board inquiries and minor street issues, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The building's permit history shows consistent investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with no recorded violations or safety concerns over the past decade, though the recurring sewer issues may warrant monitoring.
