849-853 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 849-853 Vallejo Street in North Beach, owned by 851 Vallejo Street LLC, was constructed in 1906 and contains three units. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being the repair of rear stairs in 2006.

The property experienced multiple violations and required corrections between 2006 and 2011, primarily related to safety and security issues including stair repairs, handrail installation, smoke detector requirements, fire escape maintenance, and window repairs, all of which were eventually abated. Historical permits reveal past attempts to modify the building, including a 1985 proposal to add basement access via a new door and stairs, though this was cancelled, and previous code compliance work completed in 1984. The building's recent history shows no active housing code violations since 2011, suggesting improved compliance with safety standards.

However, there has been a notable pattern of parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with multiple citations for driveway blocking recorded between 2023 and 2024, indicating ongoing challenges with street parking in the area. Recent municipal service requests in 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and painting services, which are typically routine maintenance matters. The building's documented history shows a progression from dealing with multiple safety and maintenance issues in the mid-2000s to a period of relative stability in recent years, with most historical violations being clearly addressed through appropriate permits and inspections.
