1168-1172 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94108

This three-story multi-family residential building, located at 1168-1172 Washington St in Nob Hill, was constructed in 1908 and currently contains 3 units under the ownership of Lee Residuary Trust. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues, most notably in late 2011 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with weather-proofing on the roof and siding, electrical outlets, light fixtures, concrete flooring, egress obstructions, and concerns about lead paint.

These violations were primarily addressed between December 2011 and April 2015, during which time permits were obtained for roofing work and electrical improvements, including the installation of exterior lighting. More recent issues at the property included a significant complaint filed in October 2011 regarding roof leaks causing water damage in multiple areas, subsiding structure concerns, problematic back door operation, and hazardous stairs with inadequate lighting. While these violations were eventually abated, the building's maintenance history shows recurring patterns of unpermitted work, as evidenced by violations for unauthorized reroofing in December 2011.

The most recent work at the property includes electrical permits from 2012 for code compliance and improvements. The building's surroundings have experienced persistent street cleaning issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 reporting human waste, debris, and general maintenance concerns, though these are external to the building itself. A cooking-related fire incident was recorded but was confined to a container with no civilian injuries reported.
