687-689 Kansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-story multi-family residential building at 687-689 Kansas Street in Potrero Hill, owned by the Marcia R Adelman Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1907 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most recent work being an asbestos removal project initiated in June 2024, costing $58,463.

This follows a 2019-2020 renovation period during which comprehensive kitchen and bathroom upgrades were completed, including new fixtures, tiles, and electrical improvements, with associated plumbing and electrical permits properly documented. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural integrity with termite and dry rot repairs in 1989, 1996, and 1997, window replacements in 1992 and 2005, and basic system upgrades including furnace installation in 1999 and sewer work in 2011. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved street-level issues near the building, particularly regarding parking violations, with multiple enforcement actions between 2023-2024, including three citations issued for driveway blockages.

The area has experienced some public cleanliness challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding loose garbage and waste on the street and sidewalk, with some cases requiring outreach and enforcement intervention. While these external issues have been frequent, it should be noted that they pertain to the street environment rather than the building itself. The property's documented history shows a pattern of regular maintenance and upgrades, with proper permits obtained for most significant work, though the recent asbestos removal suggests the presence of previously undisclosed hazardous materials in the building that required professional remediation.
