2657-2659 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit residential building at 2657-2659 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill has undergone several significant changes and improvements since its construction in 1950. The most notable event occurred in 2013 when the property was subject to enforcement actions regarding an illegal kitchen installation at the ground floor, which resulted in the removal of kitchen facilities including a sink, stove, and associated electrical components with a total cost of $3,000.

This incident triggered multiple building permits in 2016 related to street space usage, as well as the replacement of four front wood clad windows ($1,200). The building has also seen major infrastructure work, including a complete reroofing project in 2000 ($9,950) and an interior expansion project in 1999 that added a bathroom, exercise room, and storage space. More recent maintenance history includes the property being addressed for sewer issues in February 2022, though this appears to have been resolved promptly.

The building's recent service calls (2022-2024) have primarily involved routine municipal matters such as street cleaning and bicycle sharing operations, along with one instance of loose garbage removal in January 2024. The property's permit and complaint history suggests that while there was a significant compliance issue in 2013 regarding unauthorized modifications, the owners have since undertaken appropriate corrective actions. The building's current ownership is maintained under the Kerry Siu Revocable Living Trust.
