1348-1354 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit residential building at 1348-1354 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, owned by Tom Bernice A, is a 3-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912. The property has undergone several significant accessibility and safety improvements over the past two decades, most notably in 2010 when a stair lift was installed from the stoop to the third floor hall/entry, along with chair rail modifications for mobility accessibility. In 2009, critical structural work was completed to replace post and beam supports with stud walls and new foundations at the northwest porch and stairs, which serve as a second means of egress.

Other major improvements include electrical system upgrades in 2009 with the installation of a new 200-amp, 240-volt, 3-meter panel, and a new roof in 2000. Recent history of the property shows typical urban maintenance issues, with the most recent complaints from 2024 involving excessive noise and debris. The building has had three routine housing inspections (2001, 2007, and 2011) whose results indicate normal regulatory oversight.

The property experienced a malfunctioning alarm system incident, though no injuries were reported. Exterior maintenance issues have included a collapsed sidewalk reported in 2020, graffiti in 2020, and various parking enforcement matters, including multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2021-2024. The most recent building permit activity is from August 2020, when a window was to be installed in a previously modified opening. The extensive documentation of electrical work completed in 2009-2011 suggests a thorough upgrading of the building's infrastructure at that time.
