500-582 Alemany Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94110

The Alemany Housing complex at 500-582 Alemany Blvd in Bernal Heights is a 164-unit multi-family residential property built in 1956, currently managed by Alemany Housing Associates. The building has undergone significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system, updated electrical systems, and backflow preventer installations for fire safety. In 2019, safety concerns prompted the removal of awnings above second-floor entrance doors in multiple buildings (22-26).

The property participated in a major renovation project under the RAD program, with permits approved for constructing new residential buildings and community facilities. Recent maintenance issues have emerged, including active complaints regarding security door locks and power outages in late 2024, as well as a back balcony door problem. Historical complaints document various maintenance challenges, such as water issues, interior flooding, and pest problems in 2015.

The complex has experienced multiple fire-related incidents over the years, though none resulting in civilian injuries, with causes including unintentional fires and system malfunctions. Recent work has focused on addressing various plumbing, electrical, and safety systems, including a comprehensive renovation of multiple units in 2017-2018 that involved kitchen and bathroom removals and electrical system updates. The property management has generally responded to maintenance issues, though some recent complaints about security and power systems remain unresolved as of early 2025.
