747-749 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit residential building at 747 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill, currently owned by the estate of Jewell James E, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years, with the most substantial being a $230,000 remodeling project in 2023 that included replacing sliding doors, installing a new heating system in both units, and updating plumbing and electrical systems.

Recent filings (2024) indicate ongoing improvements, including window replacements, sewer line repairs, new bathroom installations, rewiring of the second-floor unit, installation of a new 100-amp sub-panel, and LED lighting upgrades. The building's history includes some compliance issues and resident concerns, with a complaint filed in March 2022 regarding expired permits, blocked street parking, and an unmaintained portable toilet, though this complaint was quickly abated. Another complaint from August 2021 raised concerns about work exceeding permit scope during a kitchen and bathroom remodeling project, though this matter was also marked as not active.

The property has experienced several infrastructure upgrades over the years, including reroofing work in 2000, and more recent plumbing and electrical improvements in 2024. Multiple 311 calls have been made regarding various issues around the property, primarily concerning parking situations and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, though these external matters were generally resolved promptly and were not directly related to the building's condition or management. The most recent developments indicate active ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property, with several permits issued in 2024 for substantial improvements to both units.
