1554-1558 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1554-1558 Leavenworth Street in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, built in 1900, has undergone several significant maintenance and renovation projects over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2018, the building required stucco siding repairs due to water damage costing approximately $10,000, along with the installation of an outside light fixture.

The property has shown some maintenance responsiveness, with various improvements including a bathroom remodel in 2007 ($6,000), commercial space renovations in 2015, and reroofing work completed in 2009 ($16,000). Multiple routine inspections and repairs have been documented, though there have been instances of unpermitted work, most notably in 2015 regarding unauthorized commercial space modifications, which led to subsequent compliance work costing $20,000. The building has experienced periods of vacancy, particularly concerning the commercial space, with active complaints about vacant storefronts filed in 2023 and 2020.

Several building violations were recorded in 2000 and 2008, including security and maintenance issues such as a damaged roof access ladder and problems with self-closing exterior doors; however, these violations were subsequently abated in 2016. Recent 311 calls related to the property primarily involve external matters such as sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal, with the most recent occurring in October 2023. While the building has a history of addressable maintenance issues and compliance requirements, most recent permits and repairs suggest ongoing attention to building maintenance, though the persistent vacancy of the commercial space remains a notable concern.
