1240-1246 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The Tony Lee Revoc Trust owns this two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 1240-1246 Union Street in the Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1908. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a reroofing in 2015 ($8,000), a major renovation in units 1240-1242 in 2014 ($10,000) involving cabinet, sink, flooring, and bathroom vanity replacements, and the installation of 14 fiberglass wood-clad windows in 2014 ($10,320). Historical records show previous renovations including a reroofing in 2001 ($6,000), garbage area sprinkler installation in 1985, and building code compliance work in 1987.

The building has experienced several periods requiring attention to safety and maintenance issues, with multiple housing inspections revealing various violations between 2008 and 2012. Notable concerns included the need for fire safety improvements (self-closing devices, fire extinguishers), seismic bracing requirements, and various interior maintenance issues such as smoke detector repairs, plumbing concerns, and interior surface requirements. A resident complaint in May 2012 raised concerns about unauthorized work being performed in the garage outside of permitted hours.

More recent concerns have been primarily external to the building, as evidenced by 311 calls between 2021 and 2024 regarding sidewalk defects, illegal parking, and general street maintenance issues. The property has maintained a pattern of regular maintenance and upgrades, with multiple improvements aimed at enhancing unit quality and compliance with current standards. While there have been periods of violations and complaints, these issues appear to have been addressed and abated, with no active violations on record in recent years. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing investment in preserving and upgrading the property, particularly during the 2014-2015 period when several major improvements were completed.
