616-618 Russia Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-story multi-family residential building at 616-618 Russia Ave in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Hu King Loom, was constructed in 2002 and contains two units. The property's most significant recent improvement came in 2020, when a $40,000 project to replace the exterior siding with fiber cement at the rear yard perimeter was completed, with the work being notably not visible from the street.

The building underwent substantial horizontal and vertical additions in 2001, costing $230,000, during which the single-family designation was corrected to reflect its multi-family status. Earlier permits from 2007 show issuance of sidewalk-related work. The property has experienced several parking-related issues over recent years, with multiple reports of driveway blockages and illegal parking between 2019 and 2024, resulting in several citations being issued.

In addition to parking concerns, there have been occasional maintenance and safety incidents recorded, including hazardous materials removal in 2020 and a brief period of encampment items that were subsequently addressed. A 2022 complaint about a residential totter blocking the sidewalk was investigated, though no evidence of the blockage was found during the inspection. While most issues have been successfully resolved, the pattern of parking violations suggests ongoing challenges with street access in the vicinity of the property.
