1274-1284 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1274-1284 Vallejo Street is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Constructed in 1908 and classified as Flats 5 to 14 units, the building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. Most recently, in 2024, there were bathroom conversion and kitchen remodeling projects totaling approximately $72,000, though these were initially done without proper permits, leading to subsequent corrections of unpermitted work that included plumbing and electrical modifications.

The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2020, with the work valued at $80,000, addressing important seismic safety requirements. Other notable improvements include back stairs repairs in 2016, reroofing in 2002, and various unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom updates. The building's recent history includes some concerning events, particularly the 2023 complaint regarding unpermitted renovation work that raised questions about proper construction practices and building safety.

This complaint remains active as of October 2023. The property has also experienced several parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued for blocked driveways between 2021 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The building has undergone regular maintenance and upgrades over its lifetime, including infrastructure improvements such as water heater replacement in 2020 and various unit-specific updates. The Grenier-hashimoto family trust currently owns the building, which appears to be well-managed in terms of major systems and safety requirements, though there have been occasional lapses in permit compliance that required remediation.
