61-63 Lupine Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story duplex at 61-63 Lupine Ave, built in 1951 and owned by Catherine A. Magee and Paul W, has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, focusing on major infrastructure improvements. Most recently, in late 2024, the property experienced multiple sewer-related issues, including a sewage back-up discharge and a damaged side sewer vent cover, both of which were resolved through field work by the Public Utilities Commission.

In 2021, substantial foundation work was completed, including the installation of concrete underpinning piers to address settling issues, costing approximately $25,466. Earlier improvements include a comprehensive window replacement project in 2018 that involved installing 18 new windows with improved energy efficiency, and significant structural maintenance in 2016 involving dry rot repair in the light well and interior spaces, along with a complete reroofing of the building. The building's maintenance history also reveals some concerns that require attention.

A complaint was filed in December 2016 regarding unauthorized construction work involving the removal of an interior staircase and associated drywall, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The property has experienced recurring public infrastructure and safety issues recently, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 related to encampments in the vicinity, street services, and graffiti, indicating ongoing challenges with the surrounding environment. While most building permits reflect legitimate and necessary improvements to the property, including structural repairs and energy efficiency upgrades, the 2024 sewer-related incidents suggest some ongoing infrastructure maintenance challenges.
