625 Spruce St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 625 Spruce St in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1970 and currently owned by Spruce Investment Group LLC. The building's maintenance history shows several roofing projects, including a complete reroofing in 1989, attempted repitching and Decra tile installation in 1998 (withdrawn), and a reroofing permit from 1999. A significant event in the building's history occurred in 1995 when an illegal ground floor unit was removed at a cost of $2,000, following previous complaints about illegal units in both 1994 and 1995.

Recent maintenance concerns have primarily focused on exterior elements, with multiple incidents involving illegal postings (most recently in 2023) and sidewalk defects. A collapsed sidewalk issue was reported and remains open as of March 2022, while another sidewalk defect case from 2019 was resolved. The property has also experienced various tree-related issues, including concerns about property damage from a tree in 2021 and overgrowth in 2019, though these were determined not to pose significant hazards.

Recent municipal interactions have mostly involved routine maintenance and service requests, including graffiti removal, garbage can repair, and parking enforcement matters. The building's permit and complaint history suggests regular maintenance of major systems like roofing, with particular attention paid to exterior upkeep in recent years. The removal of the illegal unit in 1995 appears to have resolved that particular compliance issue, as no further complaints about unauthorized units have been recorded. The majority of recent service requests have been successfully resolved through normal city channels, with no records of unresolved safety concerns or significant building code violations in recent years.
