838-848 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The multi-family residential building at 838-848 Vallejo Street in North Beach is a three-story flats structure containing 10 units, built in 1907 and currently owned by Toracca Properties LP. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most serious problems occurring between 2010-2012 when multiple sewage leak incidents were reported, including confirmed fecal water damage in 2012 that affected bathroom walls and ceilings. During this period, there were also interior surface issues noted, including water damage, paint problems, and plumbing concerns.

Earlier violations from 2006 raised concerns about the building's fire safety equipment and structural elements, including exterior stairs and decking. The building underwent multiple reroofing projects in 2002, with expenses totaling over $28,000. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved street space usage, with multiple permits for street space issued in 2019, though these appear to be related to exterior rather than interior building matters.

In terms of recent maintenance, a fire extinguisher compliance issue was noted in 2007 but was promptly corrected. The building has undergone regular routine inspections over the years, with the most recent documented issues appearing to have been addressed and closed out. Outside the building, there have been typical urban maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, including sidewalk cleaning and hazardous materials responses in 2019, though these are primarily related to street conditions rather than building-specific problems. The most recent interaction involving the property was a parking enforcement issue in November 2023.
