500 Liberty St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 500 Liberty Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood is a 2-unit structure built in 1903, currently owned by the Martin A Sabelli Living Trust. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent significant work being a $19,200 reroofing project completed in 2020.

Earlier improvements included sidewalk repairs in 2005, a basement expansion project in 2003 (which did not create new habitable space or alter the building envelope), electrical upgrades completed in 2003 (including installation of lights, switches, receptacles, circuits, and a panel), and repairs to address wood rot and safety concerns in the backyard area in 2003. The property has experienced some recent infrastructure challenges, particularly in 2024, when there was a sewage discharge issue from a manhole cover in August and multiple parking-related incidents between May and September, including several citations for illegal parking and sidewalk obstruction.

The building's immediate surroundings have seen regular maintenance activities, such as street cleaning (with one reported missed mechanical sweeping in September 2024) and handling of abandoned waste issues. While the building's major systems and structure appear to be generally well-maintained based on permit activity, the recent parking enforcement issues in the vicinity and the brief sewage system problem may be of particular note regarding resident experience. The property has maintained compliance with necessary permit requirements, completing all major projects as documented in the permit records.
