1157 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94109
The two-story, 8-unit apartment building at 1157 Broadway in Nob Hill, owned by H&K Nob Hill Holdings LLC, has undergone significant renovations and faced several tenant concerns over the past few years. Built in 1923, the building's major recent work includes a comprehensive update to safety systems in 2020 with the installation of new fire alarm components, followed by the removal of low-frequency sounders in 2021 after ADU construction was halted. The property underwent substantial unit improvements between 2019-2020, including complete remodels of Units 1 and 8 (kitchen and bathroom), window replacements, and significant electrical upgrades including a new 400-amp main meter installation in 2023.
Numerous plumbing improvements were initiated, with permits issued for comprehensive bathroom and kitchen renovations across multiple units in recent years, though some permits expired before completion. The building experienced multiple tenant complaints during 2020 regarding construction work during the COVID-19 pandemic, including concerns about unnotified water shut-offs, construction noise, and perceived harassment related to renovation timelines. These complaints were primarily filed between April and September 2020, coinciding with various renovation projects, including roofing work and ADU conversion attempts.
Historical records from 2000-2016 show routine inspections and several fire safety violations that were subsequently abated. The property underwent a tenant buyout in May 2019, with one tenant receiving $25,000. Recent improvements include comprehensive electrical system upgrades, roof replacement, and various unit-specific renovations, suggesting ongoing investment in building maintenance and modernization, though with some permitting irregularities as evidenced by expired permits.
