833-837 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 833-837 Greenwich St in Russian Hill, owned by Christopher A. Leung, was constructed in 1912 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in 2024, the building received electrical upgrades including a 400-amp overhead service installation and EV charging infrastructure.

A major structural improvement was completed in 2014, converting a basement storage room into a parking garage with an accompanying driveway ramp. The building underwent important safety enhancements in 2011, including voluntary soft-story strengthening at the front with steel moment frames. Between 2010-2012, various unit renovations were completed, including bathroom remodels in Unit 837, removal of non-bearing partitions and bathroom fixtures in the basement, and furnace replacements in Units 835 and 837. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly noted in 2010 when multiple building violations were recorded, including issues with mold/mildew, lead paint concerns, window repairs, and plumbing work performed without proper permits.

These violations were all abated by March 2010. There were subsequent complaints in 2013 regarding unpermitted construction work and material dumping, though these cases were also closed. More recent improvements suggest significant investment in the building's infrastructure and safety systems, with the most current electrical upgrades indicating a focus on modernizing building systems and improving resident amenities. The property has maintained regular compliance with building inspections since the 2010 violations, with no recent active violations on record.
