1235-1241 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94108

This 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located at 1235-1241 Washington St in Nob Hill was built in 1913 and is currently owned by Jedemi Investors. The property is experiencing significant unresolved structural and safety concerns as of late 2024, with active violations related to a failing retaining wall at the east property line, an unpermitted enclosed porch, and unauthorized modifications involving a sliding glass door.

Recent complaints filed between September to December 2024 indicate multiple instances of construction work being performed without proper permits, including changes to the backyard grade level, questionable soil compaction practices near the retaining wall, and unauthorized modifications to bathroom/kitchen facilities. These activities reportedly occurred despite prior violations and enforcement notices, with some residents reporting vibration effects and safety concerns during construction activities. The building's permit history shows limited maintenance activities over the years, including reroofing work in 1999, installation of vinyl siding in 1990, and most recently, permits issued in October 2024 to address window-related violations.

Historical violations from 2000 included various fire safety and smoke detection issues that were ultimately resolved. The property has had several municipal service calls in recent years, including waste management and parking enforcement issues, with the most recent complaints primarily focusing on construction-related concerns. A planning application was submitted in late 2024 proposing to legalize an existing rear yard horizontal addition and roof deck modifications, though this follows a pattern of unauthorized changes that have generated numerous code enforcement actions.
