1217-1219 Kearny St, San Francisco, CA 94133

1217-1219 Kearny Street is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910 in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood. The property is currently undergoing modifications to add a sixth unit at the first floor, with permits approved in November 2020 for this $100,000 project under San Francisco's accessory dwelling unit program.

The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, including a notable bed bug infestation reported in August 2020 that affected the second floor, and a 2004 incident involving water damage from roof leaks impacting unit interiors. Structural and safety improvements have been made on multiple occasions, including termite repairs in both 1996 and 2017, a roof replacement in 2011, and earthquake safety enhancements with mudsill bolting to the foundation in 1996.

The property has undergone regular inspections, with some maintenance issues requiring attention, such as updates to plumbing infrastructure including a sewer repair in 2007. Recent records (2023-2024) show ongoing concerns with street cleanliness in the vicinity, with multiple reports of garbage and debris, though these are primarily external to the building itself and handled by city services. The building's fire safety records indicate two smoke detector incidents, though neither resulted in civilian injuries.
