594-598 Moscow St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 594-598 Moscow Street in the Excelsior neighborhood is a two-unit multi-family residential building currently owned by the Eugene N Lim Living Trust. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being dry rot and structural integrity problems. In September 2023, a Notice of Violation was issued regarding dry rot on the siding and doorframe, leading to multiple permits for repairs totaling over $100,000, including dry rot remediation, grade beam installation, steel moment frame installation, and shearwall construction.

These repairs are currently in progress, with final inspections anticipated in early 2025. The building's maintenance history shows recurring moisture-related issues, dating back to a cancelled 2014 permit for water damage repairs and stucco replacement. Earlier improvements included a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2005, along with electrical system upgrades, including a 200-amp service upgrade and installation of a garage door motor in 2004, both completed successfully.

In 2024, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues near the property, though these were resolved by city services. The property has also experienced some noise-related complaints, with two excessive noise reports filed in November 2024. While there was a complaint about a possibly illegal conversion in 2006, this issue was promptly investigated and closed. A director hearing regarding the September 2023 violation is scheduled for February 2025, which will likely address the ongoing dry rot and structural concerns.
