59 Sussex St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit residential building at 59 Sussex Street in Glen Park, owned by Paul & Tiffany Farr Revoc T, is a two-story flats & duplex structure built in 1953. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past two decades, most notably a garage structure fire in October 2020 that caused moderate damage and required extensive repairs. Following the fire, the owners completed substantial rehabilitation work in 2021, including repairing fire damage, addressing dry rot issues, and upgrading lighting in the garage and storage areas.

This work was significant, with permits showing a cost of $75,000 for fire damage repairs alone. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring concerns with structural elements, including an earlier dry rot issue on the front balcony in 2002 which was addressed under a separate permit. More recently, in early 2024, there have been multiple sewer-related incidents at the property, with documented sewage backup issues in January and subsequent investigations.

The property has also experienced various other maintenance challenges in 2024, including a water leak (August 2024), and there are several open service calls related to different issues. Notably, the garage fire incident in 2020 resulted in a yellow tag being issued and the building being declared unoccupied, though no human displacement was reported. All known violations and complaints have been marked as not active, and the most recent building permit revision in 2021 clarified the scope of work to be performed, specifically removing the previously planned new railing above the garage while maintaining and repairing the existing parapet wall.
