37-39 Russell St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-unit residential building at 37-39 Russell Street in Russian Hill is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1918 and currently owned by the Harold Keith Hastings Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several structural improvements, including the installation of aluminum siding in 1986 and the addition of anchor bolts to the foundation in 1990.

More recent maintenance includes a furnace replacement in December 2007, and two sidewalk/streetscape-related permits issued in 2008 and 2010. The property has experienced some significant infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding sewage systems, with two separate sewage backup incidents reported in May 2021 involving a 4-inch vent and a catch basin.

The most recent building-related issues occurred between 2021 and 2024, with a notable concentration of problems in 2023-2024 including multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (May 2024 and November 2023), illegal parking (May 2024), and various street maintenance issues such as a Christmas tree removal (January 2024) and human/animal waste cleanup (August 2023). Historical records show the building underwent several exterior improvements in the 1980s and 1990s, with no major structural changes or violations reported in recent years, though the frequency of sewage-related incidents in 2021 is worth noting as the most significant building-related issue on record.
