245 Connecticut St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit residential building at 245 Connecticut Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Thomas M. Friel, has undergone several significant modifications and maintenance work since its construction in 1906. Most notably, the property experienced a controversial dwelling unit merger in 2001, when efforts were made to eliminate the separate entrance for the second unit, leading to building violations and complaints that were resolved by November 2001.

The building has maintained basic infrastructure improvements, including a new 200-amp electrical service installation in 2006 and a complete sewer system replacement in 2016. Several maintenance projects have been completed over the years, including window and siding repairs in 2004, interior stair repairs in 2000, and reroofing work in 1994. The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, with more recent issues primarily related to street-level concerns rather than building safety or infrastructure.

A sewage backup incident was reported and resolved in 2014, and there was a water leak investigation in 2011, though the response was deemed unnecessary at that time. Two street space permits were issued in 2016, and there has been one recent 311 call in September 2023 regarding loose garbage, which was promptly resolved. Historical records indicate the building has been managed under the flats and duplex classification, though the official status of the property currently reflects a closed dwelling unit merger case, which was approved. The property's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance compliance, with no active violations or complaints as of the most recent records.
