1229-1233 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1229-1233 Green Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Lui May Oi Choy Revocable Trust, has a documented history spanning several decades. The most pressing current concern involves a potentially failing retaining wall between this property and 1827 Hyde Street, which has led to an active violation notice filed in January 2024 and a related permit application in October 2024 for replacement and drainage improvements.

This structural issue represents the building's most significant current risk to resident safety and property integrity. The building's maintenance history shows attention to other structural elements, including a $10,000 repair of rotted rear stairs in 2002, though earlier repairs from the 1980s (including a horizontal addition and siding work) have since expired.

The property has undergone regular inspections, with routine housing inspections completed in 2001 and 2008 showing no significant concerns. Recent municipal interactions have been primarily related to exterior issues, including tree maintenance (2021), waste management (2019), and a resolved complaint about unauthorized construction (2011). While these historical records demonstrate ongoing maintenance of the century-old building, the current retaining wall issue is the most critical matter requiring attention.
