1281-1285 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1281-1285 Green Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, owned by David Szeto, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1910. The property received substantial electrical upgrades in 2015, including a new 200-amp main feeder installation with four meters and panels, and underwent important plumbing work in the same year with a complete house trap and sewer line replacement. A series of building violations were documented in March 2003, primarily related to stairway safety and smoke detection issues, though all were resolved by April 23, 2003.

These violations included requirements for smoke detectors at the top of enclosed stairs and repairs to stairs at the top portion, all of which were addressed within approximately three weeks. The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential infrastructure, including a reroofing project initiated in 1997, though records indicate this permit expired. Subsequently, the property has experienced routine inspections, with the most recent housing inspection occurring in 2011.

While there have been numerous 311 calls recorded for the area between 2018 and 2022, these primarily relate to street cleaning issues rather than building-specific concerns, including reports of loose garbage and waste on public sidewalks, which were generally resolved. A tree maintenance issue was reported in 2019 regarding a damaged tree, and a malfunctioning alarm system was recorded as the only fire-related incident with no injuries reported. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance attention, with all noted violations and permits either resolved or having reached completion status.
