1251-1253 Kearny St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit residential building at 1251-1253 Kearny Street in Telegraph Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by Clarence G & Rosaline T Lee. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably in early 2012 when multiple violations were documented regarding lead-based paint hazards and waterproofing problems with the stucco exterior. These violations, along with associated complaints about peeling paint, were officially addressed and abated by August 2012.

The building underwent reroofing in 2003, which was completed at a cost of $4,000. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved street-level concerns, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk defects, street cleaning, and hazardous materials, though most were resolved relatively quickly. Of particular note, there was a collapsed sidewalk issue reported and resolved in September 2024.

The most recent building-related work on record includes two paint shop requests to the Municipal Transportation Agency in 2024. While these street-level maintenance issues don't directly reflect on the building's condition, they do provide context about the surrounding environment. The property's documented history shows that while the building has faced significant maintenance challenges in the past, particularly concerning lead paint hazards, these issues were addressed through proper channels, and there have been no similar violations reported in recent years.
