1308 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 1308 Montgomery Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Whitney-halsted Com Ppty Tr. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past three decades, with the most recent major work being filed in November 2024. This proposed project includes removing the existing front deck and second-floor French doors, replacing windows at the front elevation, removing fireplaces and flues, repairing siding, adding skylights, and undertaking substantial interior remodeling of four bathrooms and two kitchens.

Earlier improvements include the installation of a sump pump and alarm system in 2006, construction of a new retaining wall in 2006 at a cost of $150,000, comprehensive window repairs in 2004, deck repairs in 2002, and various structural improvements in the early '90s including mudsill bolting to the foundation. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with roof replacement in 1998 and living space modifications in 1993. A recent incident in 2019 involved human or animal waste on the street/sidewalk near the property, which was resolved by the Department of Public Works.

There was also a brief period of unauthorized short-term rental activity associated with the property that has since been closed with no violations found. The property underwent various front elevation modifications in past reviews, with specific attention to preserving historical features through in-kind replacements and careful renovations. While the building has received appropriate attention to its structural and aesthetic maintenance needs over the years, prospective residents should be aware of the ongoing major renovations proposed for 2024.
