1272-1278 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1272-1278 Green Street in Russian Hill, owned by Victor Yew, was constructed in 1912 and has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. The most recent significant complaint, filed in 2020, involved concerns about an unsafe rear structure and an earlier complaint from 2019 documented a ceiling hole with mold issues.

In 2016, multiple violations were recorded regarding lead paint hazards that required proper containment and notification procedures, along with compliance affidavit requirements. The building has also faced various interior and structural maintenance challenges, including water damage investigations, wall and ceiling repairs, and questions about proper building, electrical, and plumbing permits. Historical records indicate ongoing attention to safety matters, with a 2003 complaint addressing smoke detector functionality, garage storage safety, and wood stair repairs.

The property has been subject to routine inspections over the years, including a concerning report in 2015 about a derelict secondary structure with questionable use. Recent external issues have included graffiti (2024), multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways (2021-2024), and occasional street cleaning matters such as human/animal waste removal and medical waste cleanup (2022). While many of these violations and complaints have been marked as "Not Active" or "Closed," the pattern of issues suggests a history of periodic maintenance and safety challenges requiring attention.
