890-898 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 890-898 Green Street is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in Russian Hill, owned by William F. and Sabrina Braconi. Built in 1908, this TIC building has undergone several major renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the years.

In 2004-2005, significant improvements were made including a voluntary partial seismic upgrade of the garage, garage door widening, and remodeling of multiple units totaling approximately $130,000. The building also underwent HVAC system upgrades in 2006 with the installation of energy-efficient furnaces and flues. The property has a history of maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding its soft-story retrofit status.

In 2014, violations were issued for failure to submit the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program form, although these violations have since been marked as not active. Earlier issues from 2000-2003 included problems with hot water supply, rodent infestation, interior surface maintenance needs (including mold, mildew, and floor covering issues), and the requirement for gas utility shutoff tools, all of which were eventually abated. While there have been several fire department responses to the building, they were primarily for non-serious incidents such as cooking fires (confined to container), smoke detector activations, and alarm system activations, with no civilian injuries reported in any of these incidents. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement cases in the vicinity (2024-2025) and a tree-related property damage report that is currently open as of November 2024, though these are external to the building itself.
