952-954 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 952-954 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill is a 3-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, containing two units and currently owned by Donald E. Hershman Intervivo.

The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2021 when roof repairs were conducted to address dry rot issues, including the replacement of joist rafter tails and sheathing over approximately 100 square feet, along with stucco repairs. In recent years, there have been notable maintenance issues, including a sewage backup in February 2022 and an HVAC installation permit filed in September 2021.

The building experienced significant problems in 2017 when a resident reported prolonged heating system failure and subsequent flooding, while 2013-2014 saw multiple complaints regarding rodent infestation, slippery floor conditions, and concerns about an allegedly unpermitted backyard cottage renovation. A substantial renovation occurred in 2009, including electrical rewiring, plumbing updates with new kitchen and bathroom installations, and water heater relocation, suggesting some major system upgrades were completed at that time. The property has seen minimal recent violations or complaints, with only routine maintenance issues reported in the past couple of years, such as electrical problems (2024) and tree maintenance (2023).
