1280 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1280 Union Street is a 3-story multi-family residential building located in Russian Hill, featuring 6 units and constructed in 1909, currently owned by the Cindy & Joey Lim Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past 15 years, with the most recent major work completed in late 2021 involving exterior siding replacement on the west-facing wall (Moore Place), including OSB sheathing and weather-resistant barriers, at a cost of $30,000.

Other substantial renovations include a sewer and house trap replacement in 2021, installation of new hot water fan coils for units 1-4 in 2017, and a comprehensive renovation of unit #2's kitchen and bathroom in 2009 (done without proper permits initially, but later completed with permits). The property has maintained regular upkeep, including a roofing project in 2006, though there was a notable violation in 2001 involving lead paint hazards that was resolved by March 2001.

The building's systems have had routine inspections with no recent significant code violations recorded, and while there were two false alarm incidents related to the fire alarm system (one accidental activation and one malfunction) with no injuries or fire damage reported, these incidents occurred several years ago. Recent activity related to the property includes several reports of street cleaning issues in 2024, though these were external to the building itself. The property has maintained a regular pattern of maintenance and upgrades, with most recent improvements focusing on building envelope and individual unit systems, while historical issues such as lead paint hazards have been addressed and resolved.
