690-692 Wisconsin St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit residential building at 690-692 Wisconsin Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Oreilly Meara, has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple challenges over the past few years. Built in 1900, this two-story flats and duplex building has seen substantial mechanical system upgrades, including the replacement of gas furnaces with heat pumps in 2023 (though one permit expired), and a completed upgrade to a 200-amp electrical panel in 2013. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat in 2022-2023 leading to violation notices and ultimately resolved by August 2023. Sanitation issues have also been documented, particularly relating to backyard cleanliness, which was addressed in May 2023.

More recent concerns include a gas leak investigation in March 2024 involving the hot water tank. Historical records show various infrastructure work, including a completed reroofing in 1994, though this permit has since expired. The property has had periodic issues with neighboring properties regarding yard maintenance and shared space upkeep, prompting multiple housing inspection services interventions. While the building has faced multiple code compliance issues in recent years, most have been addressed through permits or violation resolution processes. The property has maintained a relatively stable history, with most documented issues being promptly addressed through appropriate channels.

A pattern of heating system upgrades can be observed, transitioning from gas to heat pump systems in 2023, indicating an effort to modernize the building's infrastructure. The recent gas leak investigation in March 2024 marks the latest safety concern on record, though this complaint has since been marked as not active. While there have been multiple housing code violations (particularly regarding heat and sanitation), these have generally been addressed within several months of being reported, suggesting active management response to maintenance issues. The building's utility upgrades, including the 200-amp electrical panel installation, represent significant infrastructure improvements made over the past decade. The property has had occasional parking enforcement issues recorded through 311 calls, primarily relating to sidewalk parking violations in the surrounding area between 2019-2021, though these are external to the building itself.
