1580 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1590 Washington St is a 3-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill, built in 1911 and currently managed by New Century Mngmnt Llc. The property has undergone several significant modifications and faced various compliance issues over the years, most notably regarding the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program.

In late 2014, the building was cited for failing to submit required earthquake safety documentation, resulting in violations that included monitoring fees and an earthquake warning placard requirement. The building has a documented history of violations requiring attention in multiple areas, including security (door closer repairs), interior surface maintenance (painting), plumbing and electrical systems, fire safety (fire extinguisher recharging), and building safety (repairs to stairs and ladder modifications). The property has undergone some improvements and modifications, including reroofing work completed in 2004 ($5,550), the legalization of basement rooms in 2002 ($1,000), and various electrical upgrades related to the same basement legalization project.

More recently, between 2024 and 2023, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the building, with several cases involving furniture and loose garbage on the street or sidewalk, all of which have been resolved. Historical complaints from 2000 through 2016 include various maintenance and safety concerns such as water leakage issues, routine inspections revealing multiple code violations, and a canceled permit from 1993 related to eliminating an illegal dwelling unit on the ground floor. The most recent building-related activity recorded was a routine garbage and debris complaint in October 2024, which has been resolved, though it represents the fifth such incident reported at this address in the previous 12 months.
