1449 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1449 Leavenworth Street in Nob Hill, owned by Janet Toy, has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance updates since its construction in 1907. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit program in 2016 at a cost of $91,900, achieving Tier 3 status with the work now complete and Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with multiple building violations documented in 2001 and 2008, primarily related to plumbing, electrical systems, and safety features including fire escape maintenance and security requirements. While these violations were abated by December 2008, there remains an active complaint from 2004 regarding the boiler operation permit that has yet to be resolved. Recent external maintenance has focused on general cleaning, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street and sidewalk upkeep, though most were resolved without finding any significant issues.

Historical permits show various repairs and improvements, including a 2008 repair of water-damaged back stairs, three reroofing projects in 1993, and fence restoration work in 1989. The building experienced some infrastructure challenges in the early 2000s, requiring attention to fire safety systems and security features, but has shown progress in recent years with the completion of major seismic improvements. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk parking violations and graffiti, rather than building safety or maintenance concerns.
