500 Kansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 500 Kansas Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Ralph A Marinai, was constructed in 1927 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building's maintenance record shows two significant permitted improvements: a reroofing project completed in 2001 at a cost of $5,575 (permit now expired) and a recent electrical system upgrade in June 2023, which included a 200-amp main panel upgrade and meter relocation for common areas, now completed.

The property has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance issues and environmental challenges throughout 2024-2025, with the most pressing incident being a sewage backup discharge from a side sewer vent in July 2024 that required immediate attention from the Public Utilities Commission Sewer Operations. There has been a consistent pattern of garbage and debris complaints in the vicinity, with six incidents reported between April and December 2024, including various types of waste such as glass, loose garbage, yard waste, and furniture.

The building's surroundings have also experienced two parking enforcement issues in July 2024, including one case of illegal parking and another involving a blocked driveway. While these environmental and maintenance issues have been addressed through city services and resolution processes, they suggest ongoing challenges with waste management and infrastructure maintenance in the building's vicinity, particularly during the summer of 2024 when multiple incidents were concentrated in July alone.
