1570-1572 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1570-1572 Washington Street in Nob Hill, owned by 1570 Washington LLC, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced some notable issues in recent years. Most prominently, in October 2015, the property experienced multiple building code violations related to unauthorized work practices and exterior paint removal that required lead containment, triggering several Notices of Violation (NOVs) including stop work orders and requirements for proper containment and safety measures.

These violations were abated by November 2015, following the issuance of proper permits for remodeling work including kitchen and bathroom updates, window replacement, and electrical upgrades. The building underwent substantial improvements in 2015, with separate renovation projects for the top unit including new kitchen and bathroom installations, additional electrical work, and the replacement of bedroom heaters. A complete electrical system upgrade was completed in 2003, including the installation of 4 electrical meters and 200-amp service.

More recently, from 2024 to early 2025, there have been several concerns reported through 311 calls, including issues with garbage, debris, and waste on the street and sidewalk near the property, as well as a rodent/insect infestation complaint that was transferred to the SFDPH Healthy Housing Program. The most recent building-related activity was a tree removal incident in January 2025. The property's maintenance history shows regular building violations being addressed promptly, though the concentration of 311 calls in the past year suggests ongoing challenges with street-level maintenance in the vicinity.
