1034-1040 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 1034-1040 Montgomery Street is a 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Gee Family Trust and constructed in 1906. Recent maintenance activities include the approved removal of a roof deck in 2024 due to drainage concerns, and the building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, including a bathroom remodel on the first floor in 2018 ($15,000), basement improvements in 2012 ($30,000) adding a powder room and utility room, and a complete reroofing project in 2011 ($11,000).

The building experienced a series of violations in April 2024 related to safety compliance, including issues with smoke alarms, utility shutoff tools, and other safety requirements, though these were abated by June 2024. The property has had ongoing concerns regarding water drainage, particularly noted in multiple complaints in early 2024 about inadequate slant/grading on the flat roof leading to water pooling issues between adjacent buildings.

Historical records show various improvements and modifications, such as the addition of a storage room in 2012, and routine inspections have revealed various maintenance needs over time, including a notable cluster of violations in 2005 regarding smoke detectors, emergency exits, and stair repairs. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with proper permits obtained for most major works, though there was one expired permit record from 1998 that required renewal for final inspection. Recent 311 calls (2023-2024) have primarily concerned street cleaning and parking issues near the property, rather than building-specific problems.
