152-156 Russ St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 152-156 Russ Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood was built in 1912 and is currently owned by Gregg Witkoski Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2014, the building completed mandatory retrofitting of its steel frame for soft-story compliance (Tier 4), demonstrating adherence to seismic safety requirements.

In 2017, the building received a substantial roof replacement costing $18,950. Previous safety issues were addressed in 2011 when handrails were installed on rear deck stairs following a notice of violation, which had been promptly filed and resolved within approximately one month. The building has undergone routine safety inspections, with records showing a 2007 inspection and a health and safety inspection in 2011 that resulted in the aforementioned handrail issues.

Recent records from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing challenges with street and sidewalk cleanliness in the vicinity of the building, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and human waste observed near the property (eight reports between July 2024 and January 2025). A fallen tree was reported and resolved in September 2024, and there was a documented encampment situation in August 2024 that was subsequently cleared. While these issues are primarily related to the public space surrounding the building rather than the building's internal conditions, they may impact resident experience. The building's record shows generally responsive management to regulatory requirements and safety concerns, with all documented violations being addressed and resolved in a timely manner.
