539-545 Capitol Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 539-545 Capitol Avenue in the Oceanview neighborhood, owned by Amanda Monaco, was constructed in 1907 and has experienced several significant events throughout its history. Most notably, in 2018, a complaint investigation revealed an unauthorized storage shed larger than 100 square feet in the rear yard, leading to a Notice of Violation and subsequent enforcement actions that were not fully resolved until 2019.

There was also a sequence of attempts to establish the proper legal use of the building as three dwelling units, with permits filed in 1990 (disapproved) and 1999 (expired), though the building is currently listed as three units. The building underwent back stairway replacement work in 2003 at a cost of $3,500, which was completed.

Some maintenance issues have emerged more recently in early 2025, including multiple reports of curb or ramp defects near the property, though these were documented as longstanding issues present since at least 2007-2008. In 2012, there were some minor fire-related incidents, including a general hazardous materials complaint (which was found to have no merit) and a weed/grass issue that was corrected. The property has also experienced some parking-related issues recently, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and a blocked driveway in the latter part of 2024, though these issues were respectfully resolved or found to be non-violations.
