738-740 Spruce St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 738-740 Spruce Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Lone Mountain neighborhood. Built in 1909 and classified as a Flats & Duplex, this structure is currently owned by Susan Chin and has undergone several documented improvements and faced some neighborhood challenges over the years. The most recent building permit on record was issued in July 2018 for street space use at a minimal cost of $1.00, while in 2012, the property underwent a significant $9,000 non-structural bathroom remodel involving the replacement of tiles on both walls and floors.

That same year, an administrative change was made to officially add the second address (740 Spruce Street) to the property records. The building's recent history (2020-2024) shows a pattern of street-related issues, primarily involving parking violations, with three documented cases of sidewalk parking between 2021 and 2024. While these were generally addressed by responding officers, there were some enforcement challenges with cases in 2021 and 2024 when officers were either unable to locate the vehicle or could not validate the reported issue.

Additionally, there were two instances of loose garbage issues on the street in May 2020, one of which required special packer truck service for removal. A separate quality of life concern was recorded in September 2018 regarding garbage receptacles (toters) being left out continuously, which prompted an outreach and enforcement response. While these issues primarily relate to street conditions rather than the building itself, they do provide some context about the immediate neighborhood environment.
