1450-1454 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1450-1454 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Mihaescu Radu H & Ragab Sus, is a 3-story structure built in 1914. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work taking place in 2016, including the basement's conversion into a storage/workshop space (costing $100,000) with new retaining walls, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems.

This project also included relocating the sump pump and underpinning the west rear foundation, with total associated costs of $105,000. Earlier improvements from 2015 included kitchen and bathroom remodels ($50,000), and in 2015-2016, various upgrades were made including window replacements, electrical system enhancements, and the installation of a tankless water heater and new furnace. The building has experienced four fire-related incidents according to available records, though none resulted in civilian injuries, including two unspecified fires, a vehicle accident requiring cleanup, and a carbon monoxide detector activation (with no CO detected).

Recent activity (prior to October 2023) shows ongoing maintenance and environmental issues around the property, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, pavement defects, and encampments in the vicinity during late 2024. A notable pattern of 311 calls between November 2024 and January 2025 suggests some neighborhood challenges, including illegal postings, municipal transportation concerns, and various street maintenance issues. The building's structural and system improvements over the past decade suggest regular maintenance and upgrading by the current owners, with no recorded planning code complaints or building permit violations.
