2912 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 2912 Van Ness Avenue in Russian Hill, owned by the Macdonald Family Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and repairs since its construction in 1907. The building underwent substantial rehabilitation work in the early 2000s, including major structural improvements such as a new garage installation in 2002 (completed at $80,000), foundation revisions, and steel beam modifications in 2003. Interior remodeling of the first floor was completed in 2003 for $50,000, followed by subsequent work on the second and third floors, including stair modifications in 2006.

The electrical systems received comprehensive updates during this period, with new wiring and sub-panel installations for all units and the garage between 2002 and 2006. Recent incidents around the property (2024) primarily involve street maintenance issues, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, graffiti on public property, and a damaged tree. There is currently an open report regarding pavement defects from October 2024.

The building has experienced four fire department responses in recent years, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage: two smoke/odor-related calls, one smoke detector activation, and one contained cooking fire. The property's planning records indicate a proposal to combine two of the three apartments and modify the garage and curb cut, though this appears to be informational rather than an active project. Recent maintenance calls suggest ongoing attention might be needed for street-level services such as garbage collection and graffiti removal in the immediate area.
