590-592 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit residential building at 590-592 South Van Ness Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by Carre Guillaume Jean, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1909. Most notably, in 2021, a substantial interior renovation was completed at a cost of $144,000, which included the reconfiguration of several rooms, bathroom updates, kitchen work, and the relocation of washer and dryer facilities. This project was accompanied by comprehensive plumbing and electrical upgrades, including the installation of new systems for two bathrooms, kitchen, water heater, HVAC, and a new 125-amp subpanel.

In 2018, the building underwent a voluntary seismic upgrade at the ground floor, demonstrating proactive structural safety considerations. The building's maintenance and safety record shows generally responsible management, though there have been some recent concerns that warrant attention. Between 2022 and 2024, multiple fire-related issues were documented, including violations for extinguishers and sleeping area requirements, though most fire incidents recorded were false alarms or caused by system malfunctions.

The property has also experienced several 311 calls in early 2025, primarily related to garbage and debris on nearby streets, which have been resolved. A tenant buyout occurred in 2017 for $29,500 involving three tenants, and there were two sidewalk repairs recorded in 2002. The building has undergone two housing inspections (2008 and 2012) with no major issues noted, and while there was one security-related notice in 2012 regarding self-closing doors, this was resolved within one month. Recent fire violations and the property history suggest ongoing attention to safety systems is required, as evidenced by the most recent fire violation in November 2024 regarding extinguishers and a November 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements.
