1281-1283 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1281-1283 Greenwich Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. The building's recent history has been marked by significant construction and compliance efforts, particularly following complaints in 2022 alleging illegal conversion to a single-family home.

In September 2023, the owners completed work to separate both units with a staircase wall and legalized a third-floor kitchen while maintaining the two-unit designation, at a cost of $40,000. The property underwent substantial improvements between 2016-2019, including the installation of fire safety systems (sprinklers and underground sprinkler), addition of a roof deck, expansion of conditioned space, and significant electrical upgrades including a 400-amp service and energy storage system.

Multiple complaints were filed during the 2017-2019 period regarding construction hours, worker parking, and dust control issues, suggesting some disruption to the neighborhood during the renovation period. The building's infrastructure received extensive updates through various permits, including plumbing system improvements, HVAC installations, and fire safety enhancements. Recent maintenance issues in 2024 have involved external matters such as graffiti and park-related concerns, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or residential systems.
