763 Kansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 763 Kansas Street in Potrero Hill is a multi-family residential building constructed in 1916, currently owned by David A. Grunwald and Ruc Shah. The property consists of two dwellings on one parcel, with an active $575,000 permit filed in November 2023 for substantial horizontal rear additions and interior remodeling, including new living spaces and a roof deck.

This follows a series of significant improvements over the past decade, including window replacements in 2014 and 2021 (replacing 11 and 5 windows respectively), a completed solar power installation in 2018, and various remodeling projects from 2010-2013 that included bathroom improvements, electrical upgrades, and rear cottage remodeling. The building has experienced several compliance issues, particularly in 2004-2005, when multiple violations were recorded related to unauthorized construction work at the rear cottage, including improper window installations, door replacements, and drywall work that generated health concerns due to dust. These violations were ultimately abated by July 2005.

More recent history shows some resident concerns about noise, with multiple 311 calls in 2022 regarding entertainment-related disturbances and one open noise complaint from 2024. The property has undergone regular maintenance and improvements, including plumbing updates in 2023 for gas lines and previous bathroom remodels, though there have been instances of plumbing issues recorded in 2017 and 2019 regarding sewer back-ups that were resolved through city services. The current permitted work represents the most significant planned modification to the property in recent years, adding new living spaces and modern amenities while preserving the existing rear cottage structure. The property has maintained active compliance with permit requirements since the 2005 violations, though the recent noise complaints suggest ongoing livability concerns in the neighborhood.
