1417-1423 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1417-1423 Washington Street in Nob Hill, built in 1917 and currently owned by 1417 W LLC, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements and faced some notable incidents over its recent history. In 2014, the building was repaired following vehicle impact damage to the front entrance, with $15,000 dedicated to restoring brick and plaster elements. More substantial improvements were made in recent years, including a complete electrical upgrade in 2012 with the replacement of four outdated panels in the basement, and a comprehensive plumbing upgrade in 2009 replacing galvanized piping with copper throughout the building.

The property experienced recurring water-related issues, with complaints in 2012 and 2016 regarding water leakage affecting both the building and surrounding public areas. A set of building violations from 2004, which included requirements for stair repairs and gas meter instruction postings, were officially abated by July 2005. The building's recent maintenance record shows ongoing attention to infrastructure needs, though there have been persistent issues with external maintenance as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024 regarding abandoned vehicles, sidewalk parking, and roadway debris, suggesting challenges with the immediate surrounding area.

The property has undergone several permitted modifications, including street space permits in 2014, a problematic reroofing permit from 1997, and a 1986 code compliance project. While the building has faced various challenges over the years, most major violations and complaints appear to have been resolved, with no active violations currently on record, though some permits show as expired rather than completed. The most recent inspection-related interaction was resolved via email communication in October 2023 regarding rent board fee housing inventory matters.
