827-831 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 3-story, multi-family residential building at 827-831 Greenwich Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, owned by Yuk Lun & Mei Fong Loo 1992, was constructed in 1907 and contains three units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns related to water intrusion and mold. In September 2023, a complaint was filed documenting ongoing water intrusion problems affecting both lightwells, the first-floor unit, and garage, resulting in mold concerns including dampness on the ceiling of the garage and beneath the bottom unit, with reports of structural integrity worries.

This situation appears to have continued into 2024 with a tenant reporting bedroom mold and health issues in April 2024. The building underwent multiple permit-required repairs to exterior elements, including back exterior stairs (2023, 2016) and various window replacements, along with significant interior modifications such as bathroom renovations and infrastructure updates between 2007 and 2019. The property has faced several violations and complaints over its history, with the most recent cluster of violations occurring in late 2023 including issues with lead hazards, fire safety equipment, and structural problems.

Previous violations from 2008 and 2016 concerned unauthorized construction and plumbing work, though records indicate these were subsequently addressed. Maintenance history shows regular attention to building systems, including electrical upgrades in 2007 and heating system work in 2011, though some historical violations related to unauthorized work persisted for years before resolution. Recent property management responses appear to be addressing the most current violations, with multiple permits and abatement notices recorded in late 2023, though persistent issues with water and mold suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The building's permit history demonstrates regular maintenance and upgrades, though several past violations related to unauthorized work indicate historical challenges with proper permitting procedures.
