734 Bay St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 734 Bay Street in Russian Hill is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Lev & Tatyana Yurovsky Revo. The building has undergone significant structural work over the past decade, particularly during 2013-2014, when major foundation renovations were conducted, including the installation of new concrete footings and brick foundation replacement at a cost of $100,000. This period also saw substantial improvements including bathroom renovations, electrical rewiring, and plumbing upgrades with the installation of new hydronic systems and water heaters.

The building faced several challenges during this time, including soil stability issues in 2013 that prompted multiple permit applications and some construction-related complaints from neighbors about loud work and unauthorized modifications. Historical records indicate previous concerns about the property's condition, particularly in 2006-2007, when there were documented issues with deck stability, foundation concerns, and heating system problems that required attention. The building underwent comprehensive improvements in response to these violations, including replacing rotted stairs and addressing foundation problems.

More recently, in 2020, there was a complaint about construction during shelter-in-place orders, though this was marked as not active. The property has had minimal recent maintenance issues, with the most recent complaints being related to waste receptacle management in 2024. The building underwent a legal subdivision process to confirm its two-unit status, which has been officially recognized. Recent maintenance records show general upkeep, with the most significant work having been performed during the major renovation period of 2013-2014 when many structural, electrical, and plumbing systems were upgraded or replaced.
