1252-1256 Kearny St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1252-1256 Kearny Street, built in 1915 in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair activities over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2014, the building address completed repairs to the exterior staircase at the rear of the building, which were originally mandated by a Notice of Violation (NOV) from 2011. Prior to this, in late 2013, the property underwent re-roofing work costing approximately $7,880.

A notable cluster of violations was recorded in July 2001, including issues with window hardware and latches, window sash frames, rodent infestation, combustible storage concerns, and sanitation problems in the rear yard, all of which were resolved by July 2002. The building experienced some significant tenant-reported issues in early 2011, including concerns about stair carpeting, ceiling leaks, and appliance conditions, though these were eventually marked as resolved by late 2014. The property has also seen regular maintenance and external clean-up efforts, with multiple 311 calls for general cleaning and graffiti removal between 2012 and 2018, including a sewage backup incident in 2016.

Street cleaning and waste management issues have been addressed through various city services, indicating ongoing exterior maintenance requirements. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing both safety and aesthetic concerns, with the most recent major works focusing on structural elements like roofing and stairs. In 2005, the three units were converted into condominiums, a process that was approved and closed, indicating a shift in ownership structure from the original multi-family configuration.
