1444 Vallejo Street is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1925, the property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent being a bathroom remodel in unit #3 completed in 2023 that included new shower fixtures, tiles, toilet, and vanity light fixtures. The building has seen substantial window upgrades, including the 2021 installation of nine retrofit wood windows with a U-factor of 0.30, representing improvements to energy efficiency.

Major renovations were performed in 2008-2009, including an extensive interior renovation of all five units ($200,000) with kitchen and bath updates, electrical upgrades to 300-amp service, new wiring, and the installation of plumbing fixtures throughout the building. Recent maintenance and safety concerns have emerged in 2024, with multiple complaints filed through the 311 system, including issues with lack of heat, plumbing problems, and a blocked exit in common areas (the latter currently remains open). Additional recent incidents include reports of mold and mildew, and several infrastructure issues outside the building such as pavement defects and garbage concerns.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a bathroom remodel in unit #3 (2023), window replacements (2015), garage door expansion (2009), and various plumbing updates. The property has experienced three fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries and only one was noted as a contained cooking fire. While most historical permits are marked as complete, the building's recent history suggests some emerging maintenance and safety issues that are currently being addressed through various city departments.
