1665-1675 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1665-1675 Washington Street in Nob Hill, owned by Carl Lee, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance events over its history. Most notably, in late 2019, a substantial renovation project was undertaken that included demolition of lath and plaster, replacement of galvanized pipes with copper, and updates to electrical systems and insulation, with associated plumbing and electrical permits completed. This work followed a series of building violations in 2011 that required various repairs, including staircase maintenance, exterior painting, and seismic bracing of hot water heaters, though all these violations were abated by June 2011.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to structural and safety requirements, including repairs to stairs and fire escapes, though there was one instance of potentially unsafe demolition practices in November 2019 that generated multiple complaints about debris management and worker safety, though this was promptly addressed by November 22, 2019. The property has experienced periodic environmental maintenance issues typical of urban settings, with multiple 311 calls in recent years regarding sidewalk cleanliness, though these appear to be routine municipal matters rather than building-specific problems. A single minor cooking-related fire incident was recorded, with no civilian injuries reported.

The building's permit history shows a cancelled proposal from 1992 to convert ground floor storage into parking garage space, though alternate parking arrangements may still be available given the building's urban location. Recent permits for various infrastructure improvements, including electrical and plumbing upgrades, suggest ongoing investment in maintaining and modernizing the property. The building's inspection and violation history indicates active management response to maintenance issues, with all historical violations having been resolved.
