780 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 780 Fell St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Alamo Square neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Bruce Edwin Rueppel Revocable Trust. The building has a documented history of structural maintenance issues, particularly in 1998-1999 when there were multiple permits related to replacing rotted stairs, with work ultimately completed in June 1999. During this period, the building also faced significant housing code enforcement scrutiny, with two complaints filed in 1998 detailing multiple maintenance issues including water pressure problems, mold, and concerns about an allegedly illegal unit.

These violations were formally abated by May 2001. In 1999, there was an attempt to convert the building's top two units into one unit while legalizing the bottom unit, though this permit ultimately expired. The most recent significant permits on record include a sewer trap replacement and street space permit from December 2009.

More recently, there have been numerous street cleaning and sanitation issues documented through 311 calls during 2024, with eight reports of garbage and debris (including instances of human waste) between June and November 2024, though most have been resolved without requiring further action. There was one minor fire-related incident recorded as a "good intent call" with no civilian injuries noted, though the specific date is not provided. No recent building permits or major structural issues have been documented since 2009, suggesting either stability or possible under-reporting of maintenance needs, given the building's earlier history of required repairs and code enforcement involvement.
