43-45 Germania St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 43-45 Germania Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Jennifer A Rauh, is a two-story structure constructed in 1900, categorized as Flats & Duplex. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent notable repair occurring in 2007 to address dry rot around doors and windows, with work focused on rear-facing openings not visible from the street.

Historical permit records show substantial improvements in 1996, including reroofing, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and structural enhancements such as the installation of anchor bolts and plywood panels. That same year, the building also received interior modifications, including the construction of a new interior stair between the first and second floors, though this work appears to have had multiple permit revisions and renewals in 1998-1999. The property has experienced typical urban challenges in its vicinity, with several 311 calls related to street conditions, including pavement defects (most recently reported in July 2023), general cleaning needs, and occasional parking violations.

These external issues mostly relate to the street and sidewalk areas rather than the building itself. A smoke detector activation incident was recorded, though there was no fire involved and no civilian injuries reported. While the building's maintenance history shows proper attention to structural and safety improvements in the 1990s, the most recent documented building-specific work occurred 16 years ago, and there have been no recorded major building permits or improvements in recent years.
