50 Walter St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 50 Walter Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by the 2002 Ruch Family Trust, was constructed in 1912 and spans three stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements, with the most substantial work occurring in 2016 when a comprehensive interior remodel was initiated, including kitchen and bath reconfigurations, rear additions with decks, and a seismic upgrade that included new concrete foundation work. The 2016 renovations also addressed various structural elements, with multiple permits issued for stair repairs, water damage remediation, and utility upgrades including plumbing and electrical work.

More recently, in 2019, approximately 100 square feet of damaged dry rot wood lap siding was replaced at the front elevation, which included proper weatherproofing and insulation improvements. The building's recent history has been relatively stable, with no major building permits issued since 2019. However, the property has experienced some exterior maintenance issues, with an open 311 call from September 2024 regarding lifted sidewalk tree roots, and an August 2024 report about a defaced MTA sign.

There have been multiple parking-related incidents reported in 2024, including several instances of sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, though these are primarily street management issues rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent significant infrastructure work on record was the 2019 siding repair, which indicates proper maintenance attention to building envelope issues. The property's historical records show careful preservation of decorative trim and moulding during repairs, suggesting attention to maintaining the building's architectural character.
