1252-1256 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit residential building at 1252-1256 Broadway in Russian Hill, owned by Evelyn Lee, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects since its construction in 1996. Most notably, the building has had multiple roofing projects, with the most recent lightwell roof work completed in October 2023 at a cost of $9,800, and a major fiber cement siding installation in 2019 costing over $40,000.

The building faced some serious safety concerns in 2004 when a routine inspection uncovered multiple fire safety violations, including issues with the central alarm system and smoke enclosure door closers, though these were all properly resolved by November 2005. Additionally, the property experienced water damage and dry rot issues in the light well area in 2005, which were addressed through repairs costing $5,000.

In recent months, there have been reports of graffiti on the building (October 2023) and some parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area, including multiple illegal parking incidents and abandoned vehicle reports between July and September 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, particularly regarding the roof, which has required attention approximately every 5-7 years. The property has passed its inspections and resolved all known violations, with no active complaints or violations currently on record.
