1140 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94111

1140 Montgomery Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, owned by Edmund F & Shirley L Chow F. The century-old flats/duplex structure contains two units and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most recently, in October 2023, there was a permit issued for reroofing work estimated at $28,000, though this permit currently shows a "suspend" status.

The building has had three documented reroofing projects, with previous work completed in 2002 ($4,500) and 1999 (two expired permits), indicating regular maintenance of this essential building component. The property has seen substantial interior improvements, particularly in 2007 when Unit D underwent a comprehensive renovation including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades (installation of 20 lights, 8 switches, and 13 receptacles), and plumbing work with a new furnace installation, at a cost of $18,000. Other maintenance work has included a significant deck repair/replacement project in 2007 ($5,000).

The building's systems have experienced some challenges in recent years, including two sewer-related incidents in early 2021 (odor and leak issues), though these were resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. The surrounding area has experienced various external incidents, including several reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking between 2018-2021, though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific problems. A fallen tree incident was reported and resolved in early 2019, and a scooter complaint was noted in 2019 as well.
