1520 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1520 Leavenworth Street in Nob Hill, constructed in 1906, has undergone several significant repairs and improvements in recent years under the ownership of Hill Nob Properties Llc. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019, addressing seismic safety requirements with a $50,000 project that received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). Recent building maintenance issues have emerged, including a July 2024 complaint regarding structural damage to floor joists during plumbing work, which was followed by repair permits totaling $5,000 in August 2024.

The building has seen substantial interior upgrades in September 2023, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling in units 1, 2, and 3, along with significant electrical system improvements featuring a 200-amp subpanel installation. Plumbing infrastructure has also been updated, with completed work on building sewer drains and curb traps in July 2024. Historical records from 2011 reveal a cluster of violations related to various building maintenance issues, including heating system problems, interior surface repairs, and security concerns, which were all abated by April 2011.

The building's exterior maintenance history shows regular attention to roof maintenance, with reroofing work permitted in 1997. Recent inspection records indicate ongoing attention to building maintenance, including a 2024 complaint about windows and flooring gaps. The property has experienced multiple parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area, with regular reports of blocked driveways and sidewalk parking between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building's operational concerns. The building's safety systems appear to be actively maintained, with recent fire incident records showing no civilian injuries or serious incidents, and only minor issues related to smoke detector malfunctions and invalid assistance calls.
