1259-1263 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94109

Located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, the three-unit multi-family residential building at 1259-1263 Vallejo Street is a three-story structure built in 1916 and currently owned by the Chin Family Trust. The building's recent history from 2018-2019 shows significant planned improvements, including attempts to add an ADU behind the garage and conduct voluntary seismic upgrades, though these permits were ultimately cancelled.

In 2018, the property underwent structural improvements including the installation of one-hour fire-rated partitions and modifications to storage spaces, which were completed under a valid permit. Earlier renovations included a comprehensive electrical upgrade to 200 amps in 2006, along with kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2006-2011, specifically focusing on unit #1261, which replaced plumbing, electrical fixtures, and lighting systems. The property has experienced various maintenance and parking-related issues in recent years, with multiple 311 calls recorded between 2018-2024 primarily related to parking violations, including vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks.

There have also been occasional noise complaints and general cleaning reports, though these appear to be typical urban issues rather than building-specific problems. The only documented building complaint, filed in 2001, was resolved on the same day and is not currently active. The building's permitted improvements and regular maintenance history suggest ongoing attention to structural and safety requirements, though the cancelled permits from 2018 indicate some planned improvements did not proceed as originally intended.
