447-449 Spruce St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 2-unit residential building at 447-449 Spruce Street in Presidio Heights, owned by James D & Larue Perkins Rev, was constructed in 1904 as a two-story flats & duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent major work involving kitchen and bathroom remodeling completed in 2021-2023 at a cost of approximately $25,000. Prior improvements include electrical upgrades in 2020 for hydronic heating systems, structural work in 2007 replacing wood beams with steel support, and various plumbing and electrical enhancements completed between 2003 and 2018.

The building faced notable challenges in 2002 when multiple violations were recorded, including issues with heating systems, stairs, water damage, and lead paint concerns, though all these violations were officially abated by March 2013. More recent complaints in 2022 and 2023 regarding unpermitted construction work and concerns about contractor licensing were investigated but marked as not active. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a complete reroofing in 2005 and various interior improvements.

The building's permit records demonstrate ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention to modernizing kitchen and bathroom facilities. While there have been multiple street-related enforcement calls near the property between 2017 and 2024, these primarily concerned parking issues rather than building-specific concerns, and all were resolved through standard enforcement procedures. The most recent building-related activity was a construction complaint in March 2023 that was closed within two weeks, suggesting prompt response to regulatory oversight. The property's documented history shows a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and major system upgrades, with particular attention paid to resolving historical violations through proper permitting and remediation.
