68 Macondray Ln, San Francisco, CA 94133

68 Macondray Lane is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 in the Russian Hill neighborhood, currently under the ownership of the Walter O Mcguire Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations since 2008, with all three units receiving major updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades, and window replacements. The most notable recent building improvements occurred between 2008-2012, with substantial work on all units completed under various permits totaling tens of thousands in renovations.

The building experienced several plumbing issues between 2019-2021, with multiple sewage backup incidents recorded, and a concerning structural issue was documented in 2002 with an active complaint regarding a failed concrete wall supporting a storage area that reportedly affected neighboring properties (965 and 961 Union Street). The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, particularly evident in the early 2000s when multiple complaints were filed regarding foundation problems, moisture issues, and retaining wall concerns. Some of these structural matters appear to have been addressed through subsequent renovation work.

More recently, there have been routine inspections and minor violations regarding fire safety equipment, though these were not categorized as active. The building's recent history shows consistent investment in unit improvements and infrastructure, particularly during the 2008-2012 period, with a comprehensive upgrade to electrical systems, plumbing, and living spaces. A notable tenant buyout occurred in June 2021 at 72 Macondray Lane (not directly related to the subject property) involving two tenants with total compensation of $43,000. The most recent complaint related to the property was a noise complaint in 2024, which was resolved through standard procedures.
