38-40 Harper St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit residential building at 38-40 Harper Street in Glen Park, owned by Lisa Gross, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past decade, with the most recent changes occurring in late 2024, including the installation of a new attic furnace with associated electrical work completed in December 2024. Prior to this, the building saw major systems upgrades in 2017, including a complete residential rewiring of both units, replacement of the furnace system, and additional electrical improvements such as adding circuits and receptacles.

A foundation repair project was undertaken in 2000, involving work on the building's below-grade foundation, mudsill installation, and wood repairs, though this permit has since expired. The property has experienced various maintenance and infrastructure challenges in the past year, particularly concerning outdoor conditions. In 2024, there were multiple reports regarding pavement defects, with issues reported in September (though these cases were either cancelled or closed due to insufficient information).

Tree-related maintenance has been a recurring theme, with active cases in 2024 involving an overgrown tree (opened in May 2024) and a blocked sidewalk due to privately maintained vegetation (also opened in March 2024). Additionally, there was a report of a fallen tree that was resolved in February 2024. The area around the property has seen several parking-related incidents throughout 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking, though these issues were primarily street-related and not directly impacting the building itself. While the property has undergone significant internal improvements in recent years, the most pressing ongoing concerns appear to be related to external factors such as tree maintenance and pavement conditions.
