651-653 Spruce St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 651-653 Spruce Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1976, currently owned by Kwong Wei Ling. The building's history reveals several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly during the late 1990s, including a serious incident in December 1999 involving a leaking roof that caused ceiling collapse, exposed insulation, water damage, electrical problems, and an excessively high bell system.

Additionally, there were concerns about hallway lighting creating potential fire hazards from 1997 to 2011, and an investigation into an illegal sub-basement unit that lasted from 1995 to 1996. A notable fire damage incident required repairs in 1991, and while solar panel installations were attempted in 2013, these permits ultimately expired without completion.

In recent years (2024-2025), the property has experienced numerous parking-related issues, with multiple citations issued for blocked driveways and sidewalk parking violations, particularly between June 2024 and January 2025. Other recent concerns include a damaged tree and general garbage and debris issues outside the property, both of which have been resolved. While the historical building complaints suggest previous maintenance challenges, there are no active building or electrical permits on file or documented building code violations in recent years, indicating a possible improvement in the property's maintenance record.
