722-726 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit residential building at 722-726 Vallejo St in North Beach, constructed in 1908 and currently managed by the Calvin T Chew Living Trust, has a significant history of maintenance and safety concerns spanning several decades. Most recently, in 2024, there was a sleeping area requirement violation issued in March and a subsequent alarm systems complaint in November, though the latter was found to be without merit. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, including a 2020 hoarding violation, blocked exits in 2012, and multiple fire extinguisher-related problems between 2012 and 2018, with violations often requiring correction of "no permit" issues.

In 2013, the building underwent mandatory removal of unauthorized roof deck and penthouse structures, previously constructed without permits, following multiple complaints about unsafe construction practices. Several building permits have been filed over the years, including a metal gate installation at the main entrance in 2016 (currently in unresolved status), and there have been various routine safety inspections indicating ongoing maintenance needs. The property has also been the subject of numerous 311 calls between 2024-2024, primarily related to street conditions and vehicle issues, suggesting some ongoing concerns about the immediate surroundings.

Historical records show a pattern of addressing maintenance issues, including stair repairs in 2005 and various roof-related work, with a reroofing project completed in 1993. While many violations and complaints have been resolved, including a significant period of remediation in 2015 that addressed multiple fire safety concerns, the building continues to experience periodic regulatory attention, particularly regarding fire safety compliance. The most recent documented fire violations in 2024 suggest that while most historical issues have been addressed, some compliance challenges persist.
