706 Vermont St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit residential building at 706 Vermont Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Jennifer Dolson, is a 1900 flats and duplex structure undergoing significant recent improvements. The property has seen substantial development since 2020, including a major expansion of conditioned living space on the third floor and comprehensive interior reconfiguration. In 2023, work focused on safety upgrades, with the installation of a new 13D fire sprinkler system with associated water lines, costing over $50,000.

Other significant recent improvements include the conversion of a green roof to an occupied roof deck, structural modifications to ground floor steel beams and shear walls, and a 200-amp electrical service upgrade. The building's renovation period from 2022-2023 was marked by several neighbor complaints regarding construction noise, debris, and unauthorized work hours, though these issues were generally promptly addressed within days of being reported. Historical concerns include two significant incidents from the past two decades: a no-heat complaint in 2001 and an unpermitted roof work complaint in 2000, both of which were resolved swiftly.

The property has undergone various systematic upgrades, including window replacements, comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels, and plumbing improvements throughout. Recent permits demonstrate ongoing investment in building safety and modernization, including the installation of sprinklers in both units and infrastructure upgrades. The work conducted has generally followed proper permitting procedures, with the only historical permit-related concerns being addressed through subsequent approvals.
