632 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 632 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Kenneth Shroyer, has undergone significant improvements in recent years, particularly in 2022 when major upgrades were completed including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit #4, rear landing and stairs replacement, electrical service upgrade from 100A to 400A, and new boiler installation. The building, constructed in 1900, previously experienced several concerning issues in the early 2000s, including inadequate heat, broken windows, and safety violations related to gas utility shutoff requirements, which were all addressed and abated by 2003.

The property has a history of utility maintenance needs, particularly regarding boiler permits, with multiple renewal requirements noted between 2019-2023, though these were ultimately resolved. Most recently, the building has faced plumbing system challenges, as evidenced by multiple sewage backup incidents in 2024, including one in October involving a side sewer vent.

The property has undergone regular maintenance and improvements over the years, including reroofing projects in 1989 and 2022, and various stair repairs dating back to 1984. Safety incidents have been minimal, with no reported civilian injuries in any fire-related incidents, though there have been some carbon monoxide detector activations and medical assists recorded. Recent building permits and improvements suggest active maintenance and upgrading of systems, with particular attention paid to electrical, plumbing, and safety systems.
