1000-1002 Russia Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-unit residential building located at 1000-1002 Russia Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood is a 3-story flats and duplex structure built in 1947, currently owned by Chen Zhao and Zuo Zhiya. The building has undergone several significant renovations over its lifetime, including a reroofing project in 2009 (cost: $4,000), kitchen and bathroom remodels in 1997, and another reroofing work in 1996.

Most recently, in late 2024, the property underwent exterior repairs to the threads and steps (not street-facing) in response to a complaint, with work completed in November 2024. The building has experienced notable maintenance challenges, particularly in the early 2000s and more recently in 2024. A significant complaint filed in January 2002 documented extensive interior issues including water damage, mold/mildew growth, and lead paint concerns, though these were all abated by April 2002.

More recent concerns include reports of a deteriorating rear stairway in October 2024 and an unauthorized roof deck wind shield installation in May 2024, both of which have been resolved. The property has also been subject to various 311 calls between late 2024 and early 2025, primarily regarding parking issues, with one recent concern about a damaged sidewalk and tree on December 20, 2024, which remains open. While the building's most serious historical violations have been addressed, the recent issues regarding exterior repairs and safety features suggest ongoing maintenance attention is required.
