1251-1255 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit residential building at 1251-1255 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by John Stark Casey & Sabine L. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects, most notably a substantial renovation in 2001 costing $28,000 that included roof replacement and window repairs on the top and middle units, along with a $7,000 reroofing permit. The building experienced multiple code compliance issues over the years, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2023 regarding water drainage issues affecting neighboring properties, as indicated by two separate complaints in March and April 2023.

Earlier violations included safety concerns in 2016 related to handrails and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and in 2008 regarding electrical conduit repair and door hardware that were all subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety codes, with a 1985 permit specifically for bringing the property into compliance with existing regulations. The property's recent history shows some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding drainage issues as of 2023, while earlier identified safety concerns such as handrail requirements and fire safety compliance were addressed by 2016.

Historical records indicate regular inspections and maintenance work has been performed over the decades, including multiple responses to routine safety inspections in 1999, 2001, 2008, and 2016. The building's permit history demonstrates investment in maintaining the structure, particularly during the early 2000s, though some permits from that period show as expired. External to the building itself, there have been several 311 calls regarding the surrounding area, including reports of abandoned vehicles and sidewalk cleaning needs, which while not directly related to the building's condition, provide context about the immediate neighborhood environment.
