579 Liberty St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 579 Liberty Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by Neal Benezra and Maria Makela. Built in 1900, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant renovations over its lifetime, with the most recent major work being the replacement of rear deck/patio doors and sidelites in 2018, completed at a cost of $10,000.

Historical records indicate substantial horizontal additions attempted in 1998-1999, though these permits ultimately expired, along with window replacement work on the top floor. Two notable incidents occurred in 2022-2023, with the building experiencing sewage backup issues in May 2022 that required multiple service calls and inspections by PUC Sewer Operations.

The property has also faced recurring parking enforcement issues, particularly in 2023, with multiple citations issued for illegal parking on the sidewalk and driveway blocking violations, though these are external issues affecting the property rather than building-specific concerns. Earlier structural work includes voluntary reinforcement completed in 2001, suggesting proactive maintenance of the building's integrity by the current owners.
