43 Sussex St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The three-unit residential building at 43 Sussex St in Glen Park, owned by Donnie R Trustee Morris, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over its history. Built in 1910, this three-story flats and duplex structure is currently undergoing extensive renovations, with building, plumbing, and electrical permits issued in October 2024 for comprehensive updates to all three units including kitchen and bathroom remodels, floor refinishing, and electrical rewiring totaling approximately $135,645.

However, there have been concerning recent complaints regarding lead paint safety during these renovations, with reports of inadequate protective measures and dust control in December 2024, and issues with soil management and potential flooding reported in November 2024. The building's history includes several notable maintenance issues, particularly in the early 2000s, when multiple violations were documented in November 2004 related to mold, interior surfaces, and plumbing concerns, including reports of raw sewage flooding and a chronic sewage backup problem.

These earlier violations also highlighted issues with various building surfaces including loose kitchen tiles, deteriorated floors, and carpet conditions. A period of vacancy was recorded in late 2023 to mid-2024, during which time the building was cited for failure to comply with vacant building ordinances, though this violation was subsequently abated. The property has also experienced routine urban challenges such as parking enforcement issues and typical municipal service requests, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024, including reports of driveway blocking and tree maintenance needs.
