695 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 695 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Charles Quach and Yen Mi Chen. The building is undergoing significant transitions, with a major permitted project (2019) proposing substantial improvements including a rear horizontal extension, three-story addition, and facade modifications including a new garage door, though this permit was eventually suspended.

An interior demolition permit (2022) was issued in preparation for these work, with a cost of $5,000. The building's history includes a brief period of non-compliance when the duplex was reportedly converted to a single-family unit in 2000, though this complaint was quickly abated. The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues in the surrounding area, as documented through 311 calls, including a sewage backup incident in 2018, sidewalk defects in 2023, and various street cleaning matters.

The most recent significant activity was an appeal (2024) regarding the proposed remodel project, which followed a discretionary review application that was approved. A tenant buyout was recorded for the adjacent property (697 Rhode Island Street) in March 2020, involving three tenants and totaling $100,000. The building's condition and ongoing improvements suggest active management, though the suspended status of the major remodel permit from 2019 warrants monitoring for future developments.
