1337 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1337 California Street building is a four-story, 8-unit multi-family residential property constructed in 1910, currently owned by the Gee Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 (with an earlier bottom level retrofit in 2015), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes roof work in 2011 and replacement of heating systems in multiple units in 1995.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2007-2008, when there were multiple violations related to mold, lead paint, and fire escape safety, all of which were subsequently abated. A 2021 complaint regarding rooftop shielding was filed but marked as not active. The property has undergone routine inspections by housing authorities in 1999, 2007, 2010, and 2017, indicating regular oversight of building conditions.

Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street-level issues such as garbage collection and parking enforcement, rather than building-specific concerns. The only documented fire safety issue was a blocked exit in 2014, which was promptly corrected. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing safety concerns through permits and repairs, though there was a notable cluster of building deficiencies in 2007 that required multiple interventions. While historical violations have been resolved, recent years show fewer building-specific issues, with most recent complaints relating to external conditions rather than interior building systems or safety concerns.
