32 Houston St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 32 Houston Street in Russian Hill, owned by Mm2 West Llc, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. In 2007, major renovations were completed in apartments 1 and 2, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, new hardwood floors, and extensive electrical work (installation of lights, switches, receptacles, circuits, and a sub-panel) costing $100,000. The building underwent window replacements in 2007 (4 vinyl casement picture frame windows in front, 4 double hung vinyl windows in rear), and earlier improvements included a complete reroofing project in 2005 costing $14,531.

The property has experienced several concerning incidents in recent years, with three construction-related complaints filed in September 2015 regarding unpermitted work and debris disposal methods, and a serious electrical theft complaint in March 2020 involving two unauthorized power lines from PG&E. While all these complaints were marked as "Not Active," they suggest previous non-compliance with proper permits and safety protocols. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep in the mid-2000s with multiple permits for electrical, plumbing, and general improvements.

More recently, between 2018 and 2024, there have been various neighborhood-related issues including several reports of illegal parking, two instances of abandoned vehicles (2022), and instances of garbage and debris (2024). Additionally, there was graffiti reported on the sidewalk in front of the property in 2019. The most recent building-related incident was a resolved illegal parking case in September 2024. Routine housing inspections in the early 2000s (2001-2006) were conducted and resolved without noted violations.
