196-198 Emmett Ct, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 196-198 Emmett Court in Bernal Heights, owned by Russell Sammon, is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, with the most recent being a comprehensive reroofing project completed in March 2024 costing $32,300, which included new roofing materials, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation improvements.

Prior to this, the building received various updates including a 40 square foot roofing and siding replacement at the front entrance in 2020, and a water heater vent replacement in 2021. The electrical system was upgraded in 2004 with a 100-amp service change, and plumbing work has been performed periodically, including a preliminary inspection in 2010 and the correction of a water heater vent issue that was filed as a complaint in 1997 and resolved in 2000.

The building's structure has seen consistent maintenance over the years, including window replacements in 2003 (upgrading from aluminum to vinyl), various roofing work (including a 1989 reroofing), and stair stringer repairs in 2004. The property's use classification was corrected in 2013 to accurately reflect its status as a two-family residential building. While there have been no recent building complaints or unsettled issues, a 2019 311 call related to the property's irrigation system was determined to be a private property matter unrelated to city services.
