291 Rutledge St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 291 Rutledge Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Hanne-lotte Schmidt Lvg Tr, was constructed in 1960 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over its lifetime. The building's maintenance record shows a reroofing project completed in 1993, while an earlier repair of dry rot in decking and stairs at the rear entrance was attempted in 1987 but the permit expired.

A notable safety improvement was the removal of a kitchen facility from the social room in 1986, which addressed electrical code compliance issues. The property has undergone three routine housing inspections (2003, 2008, and 2011), with the most significant set of violations occurring in 2003-2011 related to gas utility safety.

These included the need for a gas shutoff tool and the posting of gas meter instructional diagrams, which were ultimately abated by 2011. The 2011 inspection identified a need for handrails on the rear stairway, which was also addressed by the end of 2011. More recently, between December 2024 and January 2025, there have been multiple reports of tree-related issues in the vicinity of the property, with several cases of fallen trees and damaged trees reported, though these external issues do not directly impact the building's condition or safety.
