1250 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1250 California Street in Nob Hill, constructed in 1907, has undergone significant improvements over the past several years. Between 2021 and 2022, all six units received substantial renovations including bathroom and kitchen rehabilitations, installation of additional bathrooms, and washer/dryer installations, with associated costs ranging from $29,000 to $80,000 per unit. The building's safety systems were prioritized in 2021 with a $30,000 fire alarm system upgrade to meet current codes, including the installation of wireless low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

Recent maintenance includes a water heater replacement in April 2023 and roofing work completed in 2012 and 1991. The building has a history of addressing violations and complaints, though most have been resolved. Notable historical issues include a 2002 complaint regarding multiple maintenance concerns such as plumbing, electrical, and interior surface problems, all of which were abated by August 2002.

More recent concerns have been less severe, with recent 311 calls primarily related to parking issues and graffiti, though these do not directly impact resident safety or building conditions. Two minor fire incidents have been recorded, one being a contained cooking fire and the other an unintentional smoke detector activation, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The building's owner has actively pursued improvements and compliance, as evidenced by the recent zoning verification request currently pending review.
