500-502 Holloway Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-family residential building at 500-502 Holloway Avenue, owned by Hsieh Shen-fu, has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1926. The property experienced a significant fire incident in 2006 that required $9,000 in repairs to the ceiling and painting, followed by electrical work to install 15 lights, 8 switches, 40 receptacles, and 10 circuits.

In 2014, the building underwent a voluntary restoration to remove unauthorized modifications, including an illegal kitchen and bathroom in the garage, with associated plumbing and electrical work. The property has had multiple building violations and complaints, including a declared nuisance status in 2010-2011 related to weatherproofing issues and rubbish disposal, though these violations were abated by February 2011. Recent records from 2024 show recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property, including three separate instances of abandoned furniture reported in October 2024, though all were resolved through city services.

The building's most recent notable maintenance history includes the removal of illegal modifications in 2014, while historical improvements include a comprehensive renovation in 2002 that updated both units' bathrooms and kitchens and replaced 30 windows. The property has also been the subject of multiple parking enforcement calls in 2024, though many were either invalid or officers were unable to locate the violations. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly in the past, most recent records suggest improved compliance, though the property continues to generate service requests for street cleaning and parking issues in the vicinity.
