1090 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94109

This three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building located at 1090 Francisco Street in Russian Hill was constructed in 1926 and is currently owned by Mehan Properties LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $120,000, which included the installation of new moment frames and shear walls with a new foundation.

In 2019, the building received an updated backflow prevention device for the boiler system, following a boiler permit violation that had been filed in 2013 and subsequently resolved in 2014. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues, particularly in the mid-2010s, including a 2015 complaint regarding mold in a first-floor unit, multiple building code violations related to fire escape maintenance, painting requirements, and window repairs. A 2021 complaint noted plumbing issues in the garage area, and there were several complaints in 2014 regarding paint scraping work that may have involved lead paint concerns.

The building has undergone regular safety inspections, including a 2015 routine check that identified several compliance issues, though all were eventually addressed. Fire safety inspections in 2017-2019 revealed no significant hazards, with only one condition related to alarm systems being corrected. Recent activity around the building (2023-2024) has primarily involved external issues such as noise complaints and street maintenance needs, though these are more related to the neighborhood environment than the building's internal conditions.
