1186-1190 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1186-1190 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, built in 1916, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair activities over the years. In 2005, the building received exterior improvements with the installation of vinyl siding on the east and west upper walls, while in 1983, there was a completion of work to bring the building into full compliance with relevant regulations.

The building has experienced multiple compliance issues and violations, particularly between 2000 and 2009, including fire safety concerns such as the need for proper fire extinguishers, egress clearance, and smoke enclosure door repairs, all of which were eventually abated by 2010. Of particular note was a water-related incident in 2009 requiring access to all units to investigate a potential sewer or water leak affecting a neighbor's lightwell. Recent building activity has been limited to routine safety inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2016.

Presently, there are ongoing concerns regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk/property, with reports from 2023 still marked as open. The building has also experienced some infrastructure challenges in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding sewer maintenance, flooding, and odors, though these issues appear to be primarily affecting the street exterior rather than the building itself. While the property has had its share of maintenance and compliance challenges, it's noteworthy that most historical violations have been resolved, with particular attention paid to addressing fire safety concerns when they arose.
