1043-1045 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 1043-1045 Francisco Street in Russian Hill, owned by John Chiatello, was constructed in 1952 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. The most substantial work appears to have occurred between 2009 and 2014, including the installation of a comprehensive electrical system upgrade with 200-amp service, 70 circuits, and numerous appliance installations, as well as plumbing improvements including radiant heating system installation and various layout modifications. In 2014, notable enhancements were made to the roof deck, including the addition of a barbeque, sink, refrigerator, and gas firepit.

More recent improvements include the installation of a 2.65 kW solar PV system in 2016 and a separate 240V service in 2017. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to infrastructure, with all major permits from various years receiving final inspections and completing successfully, with the exception of a few expired permits from 2011-2012 that were subsequently addressed. A construction noise complaint was filed in February 2022 regarding jackhammering exceeding allowable decibel levels, though this was abated within two days.

Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street maintenance issues outside the building, including graffiti removal and environmental concerns, rather than building-specific problems. A planning application for a horizontal addition and garage expansion was approved in 2013, though it is not clear if this work was ultimately completed. The building's systems appear to have been regularly updated and maintained, with particular attention to safety features such as smoke detectors and fire-related improvements.
