25 Russ St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 25 Russ Street in the South of Market neighborhood, owned by the Marilyn J De Vera Living Trust, has a complex history dating back to its 1927 construction. The most significant recent development occurred in August 2023 with a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing $31,960, including the installation of new wireless low-frequency horns in sleeping areas to comply with modern fire safety codes.

The building's fire safety history includes a serious fire incident in 2002 that required substantial repairs across multiple units, including the replacement of a smoke detector in a second-floor corridor. In 2024, a violation was issued related to the sprinkler/standpipe systems, though records indicate this was subsequently abated.

The building has undergone regular safety inspections, with a notable health and safety inspection in 2011 revealing fire extinguisher compliance issues that were resolved within two months. The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls in recent months (between November 2024 and January 2025), primarily related to street cleaning issues including garbage, debris, and several encampment reports in the vicinity, though these exterior matters do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The building received a roofing upgrade in 1995 and has maintained basic compliance with housing inspections, with no active violations or complaints regarding internal building conditions in recent years.
