610-612 Spruce St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 610-612 Spruce Street, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood and owned by Edward Chang, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1967. The building has undergone several improvements over the years, including a significant window upgrade in 2006 when 26 windows were replaced with white vinyl units at a cost of $13,000, with six of these being visible from the street. In 2009, the property received a water heater replacement, and records show a reroofing project from 1998, though this permit has since expired.

A notable incident occurred in August 2002 when a complaint was filed regarding a possible illegal unit in the single-family dwelling, though this complaint was promptly addressed within two weeks. Recent and historical maintenance of the property has been generally focused on essential systems, with no major structural or safety concerns documented through building permits. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls over the years.

These include recent concerns in 2023 about graffiti, improperly stored waste containers, and a missed street cleaning route, as well as historic incidents involving illegal parking and an abandoned vehicle in 2022 and 2013 respectively. While these external issues impact the neighborhood environment, they are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The most recent documented building improvement was the water heater replacement in 2009, suggesting that while the building remains occupied, major systems upgrades may be due based on typical maintenance cycles.
