1732 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1732 Washington Street in Nob Hill, constructed in 1906, has undergone numerous renovations and faced several significant issues over its recent history. The most recent major work was completed in late 2024 with a $30,000 re-roofing project, while significant interior improvements have included a 2021 renovation of Unit 7 featuring new kitchen and bathroom fixtures, electrical upgrades, and ventilation installations. The building's systems received substantial upgrades with the installation of a new 400-amp service in 2015.

Several units have undergone renovations between 2012-2021, including flood damage repairs in Unit 12 in 2012, kitchen remodels in Units 2 and 6, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades throughout. The building has experienced several concerning incidents, particularly regarding safety and maintenance. Notable issues include a 2018 mold complaint in a unit with documented problems affecting clothing and concerns about inadequate remediation, multiple construction-related complaints in 2014 regarding dust and lead paint concerns, and a 2016 incident involving a disconnected fire alarm system. Two fire code violations were issued in 2020 regarding emergency lighting and posting requirements.

A lead paint warning and various building safety concerns were documented in 2001, though these were officially abated in 2015. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing maintenance needs, including garbage removal and sidewalk cleaning, with the most recent being a 2024 report. The building's management has typically addressed violations and permit requirements, though there have been multiple complaints about work being performed without appropriate permits or outside of approved scopes, particularly during renovation periods. The property has maintained active compliance with utility upgrade requirements, including smoke detector installations and other safety improvements.
