1490 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, three-story apartment building at 1490 Francisco Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Allen George & Ludmilla, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in August 2023, the property completed the replacement of 17 damaged wood windows on its front and side facades at a cost of $13,000.

The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) at a cost of $122,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Between 2011-2013, a comprehensive renovation was performed across multiple units, including Units 1-12, involving kitchen and bathroom updates, laundry installations, and various utility improvements, though several permits required subsequent final inspections in 2013. The building has experienced some compliance issues in the past, including multiple boiler permit violations in 2019 and 2022, and unauthorized modifications in 2010 involving deck construction and door/window alterations.

Historical complaints from 2002 indicated various maintenance and safety concerns, including heating system issues and fire safety violations, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent maintenance activities include drywall installation and electrical work in Unit 3's garage in 2022. The property has maintained regular upkeep, with permitted improvements and repairs being documented, though there have been occasional issues with garbage accumulation and parking violations in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024.
