1285-1287 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 1285-1287 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story, multi-family residential building with two units, built in 1900 and classified as a Flat & Store building with 4 units or less. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements between 2015 and 2019, including plumbing work for new bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, and comprehensive electrical upgrades. The electrical system received major updates in 2019 with the installation of new receptacle outlets, recessed lights, and sub-panels for both apartments.

Plumbing improvements included new water service, furnaces, and various bathroom installations, though several permits from 2015-2016 expired and required renewals or re-issuance in subsequent years. During the renovation period, there were multiple building complaints related to construction activities in 2015-2017, including dust control concerns, sandblasting paint removal, and improper wastewater disposal. A 2017 complaint noted concerns about an unsecured electrical panel and construction-related equipment, though these issues do not appear to have been recurring problems.

The property underwent facade restoration, window replacement, and foundation work as part of the renovation project, which was substantially completed by 2019. Since the major renovation work was completed, the building has had minimal documented issues, with the most recent permits primarily related to obtaining final inspections and minor street space usage. The only recent concerns noted in 2024-2025 involve external issues such as street cleaning and debris removal, which are typical neighborhood maintenance matters and not directly related to the building's condition or operations. The property has experienced no documented fire incidents of note since the renovation work was completed.
