2175-2177 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit residential building at 2175-2177 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Dale R Walker Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1934 and has undergone several significant modifications over the years. The most notable issue occurred in 2007 when an unauthorized rooftop deck installation led to multiple violations and legal proceedings, which were ultimately resolved in 2016 when the deck was legalized through proper permits. Between 2021-2022, the building underwent substantial maintenance work, including re-roofing projects totaling over $20,000, during which the rooftop deck was disassembled and reassembled with some component replacements.

The building has seen various safety-related complaints and repairs, particularly concerning the back stairs, with multiple inspections between 2013-2016 raising concerns about stability, potential dry rot, and unsafe conditions, though these issues were addressed through subsequent repairs and permit approvals. The property has maintained its infrastructure with several important upgrades, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2021 and various plumbing and electrical improvements over the years. Earlier renovations from 2008 included work on the first floor garage and flat remodels, though some permits did expire.

While there have been multiple building complaints regarding potential safety issues, including concerns about stairs and electrical work in 2016, these were typically addressed through proper channels and permits. The building's historical records show a pattern of unauthorized modifications followed by corrective actions, particularly regarding the rooftop deck, which has been properly permitted and maintained in recent years. Two minor fire-related incidents were recorded, one involving smoke removal and another related to an unintended detector activation, with no civilian injuries reported in either case.
