750 Rutland St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 750 Rutland Street is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1967 in the Visitacion Valley neighborhood, currently owned by the Michael Schweizer Bypass Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges throughout its history. Most recently, in 2024, the building has been upgrading its fire safety systems with the installation of new fire alarm equipment and low-frequency sounders to comply with San Francisco Fire Department requirements, with similar electrical work currently pending issuance.

In 2023, the property underwent window replacements, installing 12 new fiberglass windows of the same size and style. The building has a history of serious fire safety and maintenance issues, particularly evident in a 2000 inspection that documented multiple violations including lack of functioning smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and heating issues, along with security concerns and damaged windows. These violations were abated by December 2000. A significant fire incident in 2001 required substantial repairs including window replacements, bathroom work, and roof framing replacement.

Subsequent improvements include HVAC upgrades in 2014 with the installation of new heating systems in several units, and plumbing updates including water heater installation in 2018 (though this permit was later canceled). The property has consistently undergone maintenance and safety upgrades, including foundation reinforcement work performed in 1995 and 1999. More recent history shows attention to both building and neighborhood improvements, with the property owner participating in the Leland Avenue Streetscape Improvements Project, which includes various infrastructure upgrades to the surrounding area. The building's current permits and recent upgrades indicate active maintenance of safety systems, though the property has experienced recurring issues with exterior debris management as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024.
