541-545 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

541-545 Vallejo Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by the Keller Family Trust. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial current project being a major roof renovation scheduled for December 2024, valued at $16,300, involving the installation of new roofing membranes, flashing, and vents. Recent years have seen considerable modernization efforts, including electrical upgrades (a new sub-panel installation in 2018, new circuits in 2021), plumbing improvements (kitchen and bathroom renovations, HVAC installation in 2017-2021), and structural work such as bathroom additions and kitchen remodels completed in 2017.

The building has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding lead paint conditions and safety compliance issues. A 2015 complaint documented cracked and peeling lead paint, while previous inspections in 2013 and 2005 revealed various safety concerns including stairway repairs, smoke detector installations, and fire escape obstructions. All these violations were subsequently addressed, with the lead paint issue officially abated in 2016.

The property's electrical system has seen significant upgrades, including attempts to increase the service panel capacity to 100 amps in 2018 (though these permits were ultimately cancelled). The building's roof maintenance has been an ongoing focus, with the upcoming 2024 roofing project being the latest in a series of improvements. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of routine maintenance and system upgrades, with no major structural issues or safety violations reported in the past several years. The property has maintained compliance with housing codes since addressing the 2015 lead paint and safety violation issues, and recent permits indicate continued investment in building maintenance and modernization by the current ownership.
