Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 935-937 North Point Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, owned by Perry Christopher John A & Amy J Swanson, has undergone several significant modifications since its construction in 1940. The property, originally designed as a two-unit building, has faced multiple challenges regarding its unit configuration, with complaints and inspections in 2018 raising concerns about potential illegal unit merger and change of use. This led to substantial renovations including the installation of a one-hour fire-rated wall at the common stair, new stair connections between floors, and bathroom additions, completed in late 2018 at a cost of $22,000. The building has seen continuous safety improvements, particularly regarding fire safety, with the installation of a comprehensive sprinkler system in 2017 ($22,000), and multiple sprinkler-related modifications through 2019.

Recent history shows the building has maintained active management of safety systems, including a new gas fireplace installation in 2019 and various electrical upgrades, though some permits have expired, such as a June 2016 electrical panel upgrade and a September 2017 fire alarm panel installation. The property faced multiple building violations in 2012 concerning stucco weatherproofing and lead paint concerns, which were abated by 2015. Of particular note, there was a significant complaint in 2015 regarding potential foundation undermining of a neighboring property during excavation work, which was also resolved. Most recently, in May 2024, there was a complaint regarding construction and chainsaw operation after 10 PM, though this was quickly resolved the following day. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with numerous reports in late 2024, though these do not directly relate to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 935-937 North Point St's risk score is calculated
