55-57 Beaver St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 55-57 Beaver Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by Barbara Lee Hillend 2019 Tr, this flat/duplex structure has a notable history of maintenance and safety concerns. In 1997, the building experienced a significant safety issue when the back porch enclosure resulted in the removal of back steps, creating an egress problem for the upstairs tenant that persisted for two years.

This led to multiple permit applications in 1998 to address unsafe conditions, including the removal and replacement of the problematic deck and stairs. The building received a new roof in August 1997, and there were sidewalk repairs attempted in 2000. More recently, the property has experienced various maintenance and environmental issues, including a sewage vent problem reported in 2021 and multiple instances of blocked driveways requiring parking enforcement attention between 2020 and 2022.

The most recent building-related incidents include an offensive graffiti report in March 2019 and a general complaint that prompted investigation by the Department of Public Health in May 2020. The surrounding area has seen various street-related issues in recent years, including illegal parking (most recently in October 2024) and waste removal cases, though these are more reflective of neighborhood conditions than building-specific problems. While the property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, many of the more serious concerns appear to have been addressed, though some local infrastructure and parking challenges persist.
