277-279 Rose St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The two-unit residential building at 277-279 Rose Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Scott A. Galbraith, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1952. Most recently, in October 2023, the property received an upgrade to its street-facing windows, with the installation of four Marvin Ultimate windows at a cost of $23,200. Prior improvements include a kitchen remodel in 2013 that involved substantial electrical updates with the addition of multiple circuits and appliances, and an earlier bathroom renovation in 2010 that included new fixtures and a wall furnace installation.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both aesthetic and functional upgrades, with a complete reroofing project documented in 2003. While the building itself has been maintained with regular improvements, the surrounding area has experienced various challenges, particularly in recent years. There have been multiple reports of medical waste (including needles) near the property between 2022 and 2024, though all these incidents were resolved with varying degrees of follow-up from city services. Additionally, there were two documented instances of sidewalk blockage by parked vehicles in 2022.

The most recent infrastructure-related complaint was a water leak reported in October 2024, but this case was closed due to insufficient information. A notable historical issue was documented in 2008, when mold was reported in a bathroom and bedroom, though this complaint was promptly addressed within four days. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of both common and individual unit areas, with particular attention paid to bathrooms and kitchens. The most recent improvements, including the recent window replacements, indicate ongoing investment in the property's upkeep and modernization.
