1127-1133 Kearny St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 10-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1127-1133 Kearny Street in Telegraph Hill has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1907. Most notably, the building completed a voluntary soft-story retrofit in 2019, enhancing its seismic safety. Recent maintenance issues have included a 2023 complaint about missing stairway handrails to storage spaces, which was addressed promptly in March 2024.

The building has seen substantial unit improvements, with multiple apartments (Units 1, 2, and 5) receiving complete renovations of kitchens and bathrooms between 2016-2021, including the installation of washer/dryer facilities. Two permits for adding ADUs in the first-floor parking area were filed in October 2020 but currently show as filed and not completed. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and moisture issues. Two separate complaints about lack of heat and mold problems were reported in February 2015, and a recent complaint in October 2023 also mentioned mold, damaged sink, and heating issues.

The building has been subject to regulatory scrutiny, with multiple fire safety violations recorded between 2002 and 2022, including issues with fire escape ladders and extinguishers, though most have been resolved. Recent 311 calls in late 2024 have primarily concerned blocked sidewalks and garbage issues outside the building. Historical records show regular housing inspections, and all documented violations have been marked as not active, suggesting compliance with required corrections. The building's fire incident history shows no civilian injuries, with most incidents being false alarms or minor cooking-related events.
