1061-1065 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The three-unit residential building at 1061-1065 Washington St in Nob Hill, owned by Leslie Chow, has a history dating back to 1900 and has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the years. The most recent significant tenant complaint from May 2015 reported issues of overflowing trash, lack of heat, bathroom mold and decay, and electrical problems, which prompted repair work to window frames and bathroom fixtures.

Between 2002 and 2011, multiple safety violations were documented, including concerns about fire escape functionality, rusty door hinges, inadequate lighting in exit passageways, and problems with window hardware. The building underwent reroofing projects in 1989 and 2004, with the most recent being completed in 2004 at a cost of over $12,000.

The property has also experienced recurring cleanliness issues, with multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2025 reporting garbage and debris problems near the building's vicinity, and a documented pattern of waste management challenges including overflowing garbage cans and loose debris in the surrounding area. The building's fire safety record shows only one incident, which was a false alarm with no civilian injuries reported. While many of the historical violations have been resolved, the pattern of maintenance issues and recurring waste management concerns suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and surrounding area maintenance.
