1360-1364 Kearny St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1360-1364 Kearny Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Leong 2003 Family Trust and built in 1910, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $48,000, including ground/garage level improvements, as well as associated electrical work for garage outlets, switches, and lighting. The property is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story building, with retrofit work having been completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued.

The building has experienced some recent maintenance issues, particularly concerning sewer infrastructure, with two consecutive sewage backup incidents reported from a side sewer vent in October 2024. Historical violations and complaints from 2004-2006 included concerns about structural wood posts in stairs, fire extinguisher maintenance, and building identification number requirements, all of which were addressed within a month of their issuance. The property has undergone various routine inspections, and while no significant violations have been recorded in recent years, there have been several parking-related issues documented in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding blocking driveway and sidewalk parking between 2022-2025.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including reroofing work completed in 1989 and compliance-related improvements in 1986. Street space permits were issued in 2000 and 2011, indicating the building's ongoing regulatory compliance. The most recent work completed under the soft-story program demonstrates the property's adherence to current structural safety requirements, though the recent sewer incidents may suggest some ongoing infrastructure maintenance needs.
