523 Duboce Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story multi-family residential building at 523 Duboce Avenue in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, owned by William A Gravitt, was constructed in 1976 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a reroofing project in 1996 and an ambitious proposed fourth-story addition with fire safety upgrades in 2006, though this latter project was ultimately cancelled. The building has been subject to two routine housing inspections (in 2000 and 2011) which were completed without any ongoing issues being noted.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved exterior maintenance matters, with multiple reports of illegal postings (seven instances between 2019 and 2024) and two graffiti incidents (in 2021 and 2019) that were all resolved through city procedures. The illegal postings have been a recurring issue, with the most recent occurrence in May 2024. The graffiti incidents were addressed promptly through city services, with one incident being categorized as offensive and the other not.

A notable planning record from 2006 proposed a significant expansion of the building, including a new fourth story and rear egress stairs, though this application was cancelled. The building’s documented history shows regular maintenance typical for a multi-family residential building, with no recorded complaints or violations that would significantly impact resident safety or comfort. The routine housing inspections from 2000 and 2011 were completed without noted concerns, suggesting compliance with basic housing standards during those assessments.
