1126-1130 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1126-1130 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, owned by Chan Barney, was constructed in 1907 and originally contained three units. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most significant recent issue being a sidewalk defect due to lifted tree roots reported in July 2024 (currently open).

Historical maintenance records show attention to structural issues, including dry rot repairs to back stairs completed in 2006, and an earlier reroofing project from 1994. The building has faced several housing and safety inspections, most notably in 2000 when multiple fire safety violations were identified, including egress obstruction and uncharged fire extinguishers, though these were promptly resolved within two weeks.

A routine housing inspection was conducted in 2010, and earlier complaints from 2002 noted various maintenance issues including chipping paint and kitchen concerns. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued between 2020 and 2024 for vehicles obstructing access. In terms of development potential, there have been unsuccessful attempts to modify the building's unit count, including both a disapproved proposal to add a fourth unit and a rejected Lot Area/Density Variance request, though a CEQA clearance was issued for a basement remodeling project that did not involve exterior changes to the existing three-unit structure.
