725-727 Rutland St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-unit residential building at 725-727 Rutland Street in Visitacion Valley is a two-story structure built in 1900, currently owned by Lam Jack C & Lisa Z. The property has undergone several significant modifications and faced various compliance issues over the past decades. Most notably, in 2011, the building underwent a substantial renovation to address multiple code violations, including the removal of an illegal kitchen on the ground floor, which cost $27,000 to complete.

This work also included electrical and plumbing modifications in response to complaints about unapproved wiring and plumbing issues, particularly in the basement area. Prior to this, the building faced several serious concerns, including illegal construction of a 25' x 50' garage/storage shed in 2001-2002, and significant structural repairs were performed in 2002 to address rotted garage roof and walls. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic improvements, such as window replacement in 1997, though serious issues emerged in the property during the early 2010s involving water damage, mold/mildew concerns, and various plumbing problems including leaks and damaged fixtures.

Recent history from 2023-2024 shows multiple reports of garbage and debris issues on the property, with nine such incidents reported between September 2024 and December 2024, including various types of waste and abandoned furniture. There has also been repeated reporting of graffiti on public structures near the property during this period, though these are street-related rather than building-specific issues. The most recent documented building-related issues date back to 2012, suggesting that major structural and safety concerns have been resolved, though recent complaints about street-level cleanliness persist.
