12 Reno Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 12 Reno Place in Telegraph Hill, owned by Blueport LLC, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant modifications and encountered various compliance issues over the years. Most notably, between 2000-2001, there were serious structural concerns when an illegal three-story rear addition was built, resulting in a complaint about partial foundation undermining, though this was later addressed through a rear yard variance approval.

The property has a documented history of fire safety improvements, including the installation of a comprehensive NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system in 2002 (permit expired), a metal fire escape ladder added in 2001 (permit expired), and fireplace installations with vents in 2002 (permit expired). The building underwent complete electrical rewiring of both flats in 2003, following permit issues dating back to 2001. In more recent history, the property has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues, including a cancelled reroofing project in 2020 (estimated cost $20,000), electrical service corrections in 2019, and construction site management complaints in late 2002.

The building's plumbing work history shows at least one instance of unpermitted work from 1997, which was finally abated in 2010. Most recently, there was a violation related to illegal short-term rentals in 2021, involving listings on VRBO/HomeAway, though this was resolved with penalties paid and a short-term rental certificate issued. The most recent activity regarding this address occurred in November 2024, involving a Rent Board inquiry that was resolved with a voicemail communication.
