635-637 Spruce St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 635-637 Spruce Street, owned by Christina Andrade and built in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues over its history. Most recently, in 2017, the property underwent substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodeling and window replacements, with proper permits obtained to replace previously installed unpermitted vinyl windows with double-hung wood windows.

This work was valued at $40,000 and was completed successfully, including necessary electrical and plumbing upgrades. The building's maintenance history includes a 2011 roofing project valued at $11,000, though this permit eventually expired. The property has experienced several regulatory interventions, most notably in 2002 regarding plumbing issues, where problematic ABS plastic piping and open sewer conditions were reported and subsequently resolved by March 2003.

A routine housing inspection in 2008 led to multiple safety concerns being documented, including issues with back stairway handrails, guardrails, and security features, though these violations were all addressed by October 2008. The building's systems have demonstrated some ongoing maintenance needs, as evidenced by three sewer-related complaints between 2020 and 2023, including a sewage backup incident in 2020 that was resolved through city intervention. While there have been several parking-related complaints near the property in recent years, these do not directly affect the building's condition or habitability.
