547-549 Texas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

547-549 Texas Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by the Ramirez Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and renovation projects over the past two decades, with particular attention to addressing structural issues. In 2017, substantial work was completed to address dry rot problems, including siding replacement, insulation installation, and deck repairs at a cost of $28,000.

Earlier repairs focused on the light well area in 2015 ($1,000) and a complete reroofing project in 2013 ($10,000). The building underwent a substantial interior renovation in 2006, which included kitchen relocation, bathroom modifications, and various structural changes, alongside extensive electrical upgrades between 2003-2007 involving the installation of numerous lighting fixtures, switches, receptacles, and panel work. The property has experienced some notable incidents, including a contractor-related accident involving a vehicle in 2004 and multiple building violations related to expired permits and discrepancies between as-built conditions and approved plans, though these issues were ultimately resolved by November 2006.

Earlier concerns from the 1990s involved water seepage and erosion issues between neighboring properties, but these complaints were addressed. Recent municipal service calls (2020-2024) primarily relate to external maintenance matters such as sidewalk conditions, street lighting, and waste management, rather than structural or safety concerns. The most recent building permits from 2017 suggest that major structural issues have been appropriately addressed, though prospective tenants should note the building's history of moisture-related challenges and the comparatively high maintenance costs associated with its upkeep.
