587-591 Vermont St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 587-591 Vermont Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing three units plus a store, and currently owned by the Parr/Carr Family Trust. The building has undergone significant recent structural work, with multiple permits issued in 2023 for voluntary structural strengthening, including the addition of sheer walls, new post footings, and foundation improvements totaling approximately $37,500. These structural improvements followed several concerning complaints in mid-2023 regarding unauthorized structural work, foundation issues, and safety concerns, which were promptly addressed by the building department.

The property has a history of regular maintenance and updates, including a major kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2019 ($115,000), comprehensive electrical upgrades, and various individual unit improvements such as bathroom remodeling and plumbing repairs. There were some building code violations noted in 2003 related to fire safety and building maintenance, but these were all resolved by November 2003. More recently, a flue installation issue was reported and resolved in 2019, and the building underwent routine inspections in 2008 and 2009 with no significant issues noted.

The building has maintained an active maintenance schedule, with numerous upgrades to systems including electrical (new subpanel and breakers in 2019), plumbing (furnace and water heater updates), and general building improvements. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking issues and routine city services, though there is an open issue from 2021 regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to both individual unit improvements and building-wide systems, with most recent work focusing on structural reinforcement and code compliance. The most recent building permits, completed in October 2023, indicate ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property to modern standards, particularly in terms of structural integrity and safety systems.
