33-35 Aladdin Ter, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit residential building at 33-35 Aladdin Terrace in Russian Hill is a two-story structure built in 1907, currently owned by Astor Family Trust. The property has undergone significant improvements and faced some regulatory challenges over recent years. Most notably, there is an active building violation (since May 2022) regarding an unauthorized construction of a new rear exterior staircase from grade to roof, which exceeded the scope of their approved permits.

Recent improvements include a $20,000 renovation in November 2024 comprising electrical updates, bathroom fixtures, and insulation work, as well as substantial 2022 renovations involving window replacements, exterior stairs compliance work, wastebin storage excavation, and various unit upgrades. The building has seen major infrastructure improvements, including the installation of radiant heating systems and a new boiler/hot water heater combo in 2013, as well as multiple electrical upgrades including subpanel relocation and kitchen rewiring in 2022. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with several completed projects aimed at improving resident comfort and compliance with building codes.

Recent complaints primarily relate to waste management and sidewalk maintenance issues, though these have all been resolved. The building's permit history and planning records reveal a pattern of seeking variances and making significant alterations, including attempted vertical and horizontal expansions, though some proposed improvements were withdrawn or modified through the approval process. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes during most recent renovations, with the exception of the staircase violation, which appears to be the only outstanding building compliance issue as of October 2023.
