908 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 908 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, owned by Hong Lauren A, has undergone several significant upgrades and faced various challenges since its construction in 1924. Recent improvements include a complete electrical panel replacement in 2022 and kitchen renovations in 2018 for units #1 and #2, which also involved plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $16,000. The building has seen consistent window upgrades, with six windows installed in 1993 and aluminum replacements in 1992.

A concerning pattern emerged in 2004 with multiple building violations, including inadequate heating in Unit #6 and fire safety concerns regarding the fire escape system and roof access, though these issues were resolved by early 2005. The property has maintained regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine inspections showing generally compliance, though issues such as driveway blocking (documented in multiple 311 calls) have persisted, with citations issued in several instances. The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical systems, including complete re-roofing work in 2018 (though one permit was cancelled), and the addition of electrical receptacles and space heaters for apartments #5 and #6 in 2004.

Previous problems with water leakage affecting the neighboring property at 906 Vallejo Street were documented in 1997, and there have been periodic plumbing and electrical violations noted, particularly in the early 2000s. The property's recent maintenance record suggests active management and timely response to building needs, with most recent permits being completed without issue. The numerous 311 calls regarding driveway blocking suggest an ongoing parking management challenge in the immediate vicinity, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance.
