956-960 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 956-960 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Hom/kong Living Trust, was constructed in 1908 and has experienced several significant maintenance and infrastructure issues over the years. Most notably, there has been a recurring problem with the sewer system, with multiple incidents of sewage backup reported between 2009 and 2017, including documented problems in 2009, 2010, 2011, and more recently in March 2017.

The building has undergone several door-related improvements, including the replacement of exterior doors in 2003 (costing $2,500) and a revision in 2001 to install tempered safety glass doors, though some permits show as expired. The property has maintained an active schedule of minor street space and sidewalk-related permits between 2007 and 2011, each with minimal costs ($0.00 to $1.00). A housing inspection in 2006 noted concerns about fire extinguishers inside the units, though this violation was promptly addressed the same day.

Additional routine inspections occurred in 1999, 2003, and 2005, while a complaint regarding an oil/grease leak from a fan over a stove was filed in 2004 and took until 2007 to resolve. Recent external issues reported via 311 include a human/animal waste incident in 2022 and excessive noise in 2021, though these are not directly related to the building's internal conditions. The property has maintained regular compliance with housing inspections, with most violations being promptly addressed, though the recurring sewer issues stand out as a significant infrastructure challenge that has persisted over multiple years and various repairs.
