679-681 Spruce St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story multi-family residential building at 679-681 Spruce Street, owned by the Irina Mass Lvg Trust, was constructed in 1900 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a 2003 electrical service upgrade to 200 amps with five meters and load centers, 2015 reroofing, and repairs to the rear deck and stairs in 2016.

Recent concerns have centered around moisture-related issues, with multiple complaints filed in early 2023 regarding water damage and mold, though these violations were officially abated by February 2023. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including previous complaints about ventilation problems and mold in 2010, sewage discharge in the backyard in 2017, and various issues with exterior stairs and decks dating back to 2002.

The property's infrastructure has been regularly upgraded, with significant work performed on both the front and rear stairs, various interior improvements in the late 1980s, and periodic inspections by housing authorities. Recent activity (2024) has shown some external maintenance issues, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, though these are generally considered routine municipal matters. While the building has experienced recurring moisture-related problems, the owner has undertaken various repairs and improvements over the years, as evidenced by the numerous building permits and completed work on record.
