712 Great Hwy, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 712 Great Highway in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1990, has experienced several significant events throughout its history. Most notably, in 2007, the property underwent extensive renovations that led to multiple complaints and violations, including reports of unauthorized gutting of the building and work performed without proper permits.

These issues were eventually resolved by October 2007, when the building received final inspections and necessary permits. More recent improvements include the installation of a 4.42 kW solar system in 2015, and a roofing project completed in 2007 costing $8,500. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with three documented water-related emergencies by the fire department showing no civilian injuries, and the most recent incident being a sewage back-up discharge from a side sewer vent in November 2024.

The property has also had several maintenance and environmental issues documented through 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and graffiti, though these are external to the building itself. A significant infrastructure project in the vicinity was the construction of a large sewer pump station and consolidation sewer project, which required CEQA clearance. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with particularly notable renovation activity in 2007, though the timing and extent of these improvements raised initial regulatory concerns that were subsequently addressed.
