8 Russian Hill Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

8 Russian Hill Place is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1957 and currently owned by the Alvarez-gordon Revoc Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work over the past several years, with major improvements completed in 2020-2021 including a comprehensive interior remodel of Unit 2 (kitchen, bathrooms, lighting, finishes, and HVAC), exterior envelope repairs, window replacements, and structural upgrades. The property has seen substantial plumbing and fire safety improvements, with multiple fire code violations recorded between 2020-2024, including issues with sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and general fire safety requirements, though many of these violations were subsequently abated.

The building experienced several significant maintenance challenges between 2019-2020, including the replacement of rotted sheathing on multiple elevations and structural elements, though these were addressed through proper permitting and completion of required work. Recent records indicate ongoing fire safety compliance challenges, with multiple violations recorded throughout 2023-2024 related to sprinkler systems, sleeping area requirements, and egress lighting. The building has also experienced recurring issues with false fire alarms and elevator problems, though these incidents resulted in no civilian injuries.

Historical records show various routine inspections and some construction-related complaints (2008-2014), most of which were resolved through proper procedures. The property has maintained active compliance with housing regulations, with the most recent tenant-related interactions primarily involving standard administrative matters such as rent board inquiries. The extensive permit records demonstrate a pattern of proactive maintenance and improvements to the building's systems, though the recurring nature of fire safety violations suggests ongoing challenges in this area that have required repeated attention from building management and regulatory authorities.
