455-463 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 3-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 455-463 Greenwich Street, Telegraph Hill, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in 2022, the property underwent substantial interior renovations including bathroom and kitchen remodeling, new laundry facility installation, and electrical upgrades, with permits totaling approximately $80,000. Between 2014-2015, the building completed important structural improvements including a soft-story retrofit (mandatory under Chapter 34b) with associated street space permits, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage and leaks, with multiple complaints about water leakage between 1997 and 2000, though these violations were all marked as abated by September 2000. More recently, in March 2023, there were complaints filed regarding no heat in units 459 and 463, though these issues appear to have been resolved. The property has a history of unauthorized short-term rental (STR) activities, with violations recorded in 2013-2014 for units 459, A, and B, all of which were subsequently abated.

Historical violations from 2006-2000 included concerns about stair repairs, smoke detector installations, and various building surface issues, all of which were addressed through completed permits. The building's system upgrades included plumbing improvements with the replacement of heaters and ductwork in 2014, though this permit has since expired. While there have been multiple routine inspections and some historical maintenance issues, the most recent major works focus on modernization and compliance with current building codes.
