901-911 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 901-911 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, constructed in 1909, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 at a cost of $48,000 to comply with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements, and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) to confirm the work was satisfactorily completed.

The building has also seen substantial upgrades to its plumbing system, including recent work in January 2024, house trap and sewer replacement, which followed previous plumbing issues in 2011 when there was a violation for a defective house trap that was promptly resolved. Other maintenance work includes reroofing projects completed in 2014 and 1988, a bathroom remodeling project in 2012 that included both plumbing and electrical upgrades, and various routine inspections over the years. The property has experienced multiple compliance issues related to the soft-story retrofit requirements, with violations reported in 2017, 2019, 2022, and most recently in 2023, though these have been resolved with the completion of the retrofit and issuance of the CFC.

Historical building complaints from 2009-2011 included concerns about interior maintenance issues such as peeling paint, window functionality, and plumbing problems. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to maintaining essential systems, with records indicating prompt response to violations and completion of necessary upgrades. The property has also generated multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street cleaning issues, though these appear to be related to sidewalk conditions rather than building maintenance concerns.
