1342 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1342 Green Street in Russian Hill, built in 1914 and currently owned by Tran Kelly P, has undergone several significant structural improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $35,000, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has experienced multiple construction-related issues, particularly during a 2009-2010 period when several complaints were filed regarding unauthorized construction, including concerns about excavation work affecting neighboring buildings, improper garage construction, and safety issues with retaining walls.

These incidents led to multiple building violations, though most were eventually resolved by November 2010. More recent concerns include an active complaint from 2017 regarding an unfiled soft-story permit (still listed as active) and a complaint in February 2020 about construction noise occurring after permitted hours. The building underwent several system upgrades between 2006 and 2010, including electrical improvements to the garage and storage area, plumbing work for water heater connections and new lines, and final inspections for various completed work.

Historical violations from 2003 included issues with wooden stairs and smoke detector requirements, though these were abated within a couple of months. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior concerns, as evidenced by 311 calls regarding parking violations, tree damage, and street cleaning needs, along with some historical complaints about driveway access. The property has maintained its residential status throughout these periods, with the most recent building permit records indicating proper completion of required soft-story retrofit work, while another related permit remains under review or unresolved status.
