227 Connecticut St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit residential building at 227 Connecticut Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Terence O. Meurk and Abigail P. Meurk, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910.

The property underwent significant renovations in 2001-2002 when the units were merged into a single residence, including adding a new kitchen, family room, bathroom, and bedroom across both floors, with accompanying electrical work comprising extensive installations of plugs, lights, and switches. Earlier structural and maintenance work included termite damage repair in 1986, bathroom renovations and code compliance updates in 2000, and historical records show earlier attempts at structural upgrades from 1998 and stair replacement efforts in 1984. The most pressing current concern is a pattern of sewage discharge incidents from the side sewer vent, with four documented cases in 2024 (July, October, and two in June) and one in early 2025, suggesting an ongoing plumbing infrastructure issue.

The building has also faced some exterior maintenance challenges, including sidewalk parking violations in 2024 (resulting in citations) and a defaced sign in 2023. A lifted sidewalk issue was reported and resolved in 2022, and there was an abandoned refrigerator removal case in October 2024. The property's permit history demonstrates regular maintenance and upgrades, with the most significant work occurring between 2000 and 2002, involving multiple permits for both construction and electrical work totaling approximately $100,000, while earlier records show attention to basic maintenance needs through the decades.
