1323 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-story, five-unit apartment building at 1323 Leavenworth St in Nob Hill, owned by Jair Jack & Rosemarie, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in 2023, the building required stair repairs to address dry rot issues, which were completed at a cost of $3,000. The building has demonstrated compliance with important safety requirements, including a completed soft-story seismic upgrade in 2017 (cost: $28,000).

Previous major renovations include a comprehensive kitchen remodeling project in Unit #3 in 2020 (cost: $22,000), which included new cabinets, appliances, flooring, and electrical work, as well as the installation of a new 200-amp panel with six meters in 2021. The building has experienced several compliance issues and maintenance concerns over its history, most notably a series of violations documented in December 2001 that included problems with fire escape ladders, windows, plumbing fixtures, and lead paint hazards, all of which were abated by April 2002. Other significant historical issues included security concerns with front doors (2002), heating system problems (2000), and various building maintenance matters.

More recent concerns have been relatively minor, including complaints about permits and a brief period of non-compliance with the soft-story retrofit requirement in 2019, which was resolved by 2021. The property has maintained its basic infrastructure, as evidenced by completed permits for major systems like electrical upgrades and plumbing improvements, though there were some construction-related complaints in 2023 regarding permit visibility. A series of nine parking-related 311 calls were recorded in January 2025, though most were unable to be validated by responding officers, with only two resulting in citations.
