1052-1054 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1052-1054 Montgomery St in Telegraph Hill, owned by Christine Kendrick, has undergone significant renovations and faced several compliance challenges since 2022. Built in 1906, the duplex structure has seen major updates in recent years, including the installation of a roof deck ($25,000) in 2022, window and door replacements on the first and second floors ($5,000), and crucial repairs to back stairs in response to violations ($2,500).

In 2023, the property completed several important improvements, including furnace replacement, plumbing corrections, and electrical upgrades. The building experienced three notable violation cases in 2022-2023, with the most recent occurring in April 2023 regarding unauthorized construction, which was resolved by October 2023 through proper permitting and corrections involving sheetrock work in the laundry area and water heater installation. The property has maintained active compliance efforts, with multiple permits issued in 2023 for various improvements, including laundry room modifications and code violation corrections.

Historical records show earlier improvements from 2006-2007, including comprehensive electrical upgrades, bathroom renovations, and repiping work on the top floor bathroom. The building's maintenance history indicates regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the current ownership, although there were significant construction activity complaints in 2022 related to unauthorized exterior stairway installation, which were promptly addressed through proper permitting processes. While there have been numerous reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity (between 2021-2024), these are unrelated to building conditions and appear to be routine street maintenance issues.
