514-520 Visitacion Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 514-520 Visitacion Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Boris and Bella Fudym. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit with shear wall installation in 2015 (Tier 3) and converting a 650 square foot garage into an ADU in 2021. However, there are some concerning ongoing issues: most notably, there is an active complaint from October 2019 regarding peeling paint, cracked stucco, and potential lead paint hazards that has not been resolved as of the latest report.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including past violations for weatherproofing, fire safety, and stair repairs. Several complaints from 2008-2010 indicate previous issues with mold, ventilation, and plumbing problems, though most of these were eventually resolved. Recent maintenance work includes a reroofing project completed in 2020, and the building's owners have complied with major safety requirements such as the soft-story retrofit program.

However, there have been multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding garbage and debris, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has had various fire safety violations in the past, including issues with fire extinguisher servicing and emergency lighting in 2009, though these were subsequently addressed. While historical complaints and violations have generally been resolved, the outstanding issues from 2019 regarding weatherproofing and lead safety are particularly notable, and the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep.
