1554 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 1554 Greenwich Street property, a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924 and currently owned by the Yu/chow Family Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most notably, in 2007-2009, the building underwent extensive remediation work to address multiple violations including water damage, fire egress obstruction, lead paint hazards, and various interior surface repairs. A concerning episode occurred in 2011 when inspections revealed hazardous conditions including exposed electrical wiring, lead paint concerns, and a broken roof floor.

More recently, in 2018, there was a complaint regarding unauthorized construction work beyond the scope of a roof reroofing project, which was completed earlier in 2018 at a cost of $8,000. The building has also been subject to several permit compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized roof access and deck usage, which were officially addressed in 2016 when the deck was removed and access was restricted. The property has faced regulatory scrutiny for illegal short-term rentals, with violations noted for listings on platforms like Airbnb, though this status is now listed as closed-cancelled.

In recent months (2024), there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, as well as several parking enforcement calls regarding blocked driveways, though most of these cases have been resolved or closed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations and completing necessary repairs, though many permits have expired or required subsequent actions to fully comply with regulations. The most recent building-related activity includes several 311 calls regarding parking and cleanliness issues. A single fire alarm activation with no fire incident was recorded, with no civilian injuries reported.
