902-906 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit residential building at 902-906 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, owned by Charalambous Dimitri, was constructed in 1912 and has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade. The most substantial recent work includes a rooftop stairway enclosure project initiated in 2021 (currently filed) and a controversial roof penthouse project in 2017-2018 that drew multiple complaints about unauthorized construction, though this was ultimately approved with CEQA clearance issued in 2019.

The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, including a complete window replacement (60 windows) in 2011, multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels (notably in 2013-2014), and electrical system upgrades including a 200-amp service installation with four meters. Earlier violations from 2000-2008 related to fire safety issues (fire extinguishers, fire escape ladder, carbon monoxide alarms) were addressed and abated. The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, including some concerning incidents in 2010 involving water damage and construction debris, and a 2006 complaint about gas chandeliers.

Recent issues reported in 2024 primarily involve exterior maintenance matters such as sidewalk defects and graffiti, though these are typical urban maintenance concerns rather than building-specific problems. The building has had two documented fire incidents, though neither resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage. Recent building modifications have focused on improving access and safety features, with various permits issued for stairway enclosures, roof deck replacements, and interior unit improvements.
