596-598 Athens St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 596-598 Athens Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail components, built in 1925 in the Excelsior neighborhood and currently owned by Francesco Annuzzi and Angioli. Over the past 15 years, the building has undergone several significant improvements, including multiple window replacements in 2008 (totaling 11 new vinyl windows with improved energy efficiency ratings), electrical upgrades in unit #3 (completed in January 2008), and structural maintenance in 2009 involving the replacement of a support post.

These improvements have generally been handled through proper permitting and completion processes. The building has a history of routine housing inspections dating back to 1999, with one notable cluster of violations recorded in November 2000 related to fire safety and security issues, including egress obstructions at the fire escape, fire extinguisher maintenance, gas utility shutoff requirements, and security features. All of these violations were abated by December 2000.

More recently, in October 2022, there was a complaint regarding construction activity and scaffolding that allegedly disturbed neighboring residents, though this complaint was marked as not active just one day after filing. The property has also experienced recurring issues with illegal parking and sidewalk parking in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued between 2024 and 2025, though these are external to the property itself. A graffiti incident was reported and processed in June 2024, affecting the sidewalk area in front of the property.
