523-525 Munich St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 523-525 Munich Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Excelsior neighborhood. Built in 1900 and owned by Walter Raimond Thoma, this flats/duplex structure underwent significant renovations between 2016-2019, including a $150,000 interior renovation and horizontal addition that added an extra bedroom and bathroom to each unit, followed by $100,000 in additional changes to the front facade's windows. The building has received substantial infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of two new furnaces (2019), a complete electrical rewiring (2018), and comprehensive plumbing work including four bathroom and two kitchen updates with new water service and sewer lines (2018).

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in its history, particularly in the mid-2000s, with complaints regarding broken sewer lines, unsafe front stairs, water drainage problems, and various building deficiencies including a damaged roof and dilapidated structures. These issues were addressed through multiple violations and repair orders, with most being abated between 2005-2008. More recent records show minimal internal complaints or violations, though there was one complaint in 2018 regarding construction work potentially exceeding permit scope.

Current maintenance appears to be regular, with no active violations recorded in recent years. The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and parking violations logged throughout 2023-2024, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building improvements and systems upgrades suggest a maintained property with modernized infrastructure, though interested parties should verify the current condition and any potential outstanding issues through direct inspection and updated records.
