1453-1459 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1453-1459 Vallejo Street property is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in Russian Hill, built in 1906 and currently owned by the Yick Albert J & Emily Trust. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns over its history, most notably in 2004 when multiple serious violations were recorded related to building safety and fire hazards.

These included issues with a deteriorating rear deck and stairs, fire extinguisher maintenance, balcony repairs, egress obstructions, and gas meter requirements, all of which were addressed and abated by May 2005. Earlier in 2004, there were specific complaints about hazardous conditions of the second-level rear deck, though this too was resolved. The property has undergone several renovations and improvements, including a $10,000 rear deck and stairs repair in 2004, and earlier work in 1989 that involved installing sinks, basins, toilets, and stove hoods throughout the building.

More recently, there have been numerous 311 calls between 2024 and 2025 primarily related to street cleaning issues near the property, including reports of human waste, garbage debris, and sidewalk cleaning needs, though these are external to the building itself. A fire complaint regarding weeds and grass was recorded in May 2020 but was determined to be outside jurisdiction. The building's permit and maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing safety concerns, particularly during the 2004 violation period, though there have been no reported internal building violations or major structural concerns in recent years.
