17-21 Marion Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 17-21 Marion Place in Russian Hill, owned by the Dennis & Laura Leuer Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1907. The property has maintained a regular schedule of water heater replacements, with the most recent occurring in March 2023, following similar upgrades in 2022, 2017, and 2014. Notable building improvements include a complete reroofing project in 2008 ($6,000), an electrical service upgrade to 200 amp in 2003, and various interior improvements including a half bath addition in the basement and fire sprinkler system upgrades in 2007.

The building has experienced some maintenance issues and violations that were addressed in a timely manner. In October 2005, a routine inspection revealed several concerns related to the gas meter, including the need for instructional diagrams, shutoff tools, and seismic bracing for the water heater; these violations were all resolved by November 2005. More recently, a fence/retaining wall collapse was reported in July 2016, though this complaint was marked as not active.

The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of essential systems, though the frequency of water heater replacements (five times since 2012) suggests ongoing challenges with this particular system. The most recent tenant activity at the property includes a notable tenant buyout at the neighboring unit (19 Marion Place) in April 2016, involving four tenants and a compensation amount of $50,000. The building's history also includes several routine housing inspections dating back to 2001, all of which were completed without persistent issues. Recent service requests have mainly concerned street lighting matters outside the building's property lines, which were handled by PG&E.
