1040 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1040 Fell Street in Alamo Square, owned by Thomas Spencer J Trustee Of, was constructed in 1979 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, the building received a complete reroofing in August 2024 (cost: $15,000) and underwent replacement of the front elevation's overlap wood siding in April 2023 (cost: $10,000). Between 2004-2005, interior improvements were made to various units, including cabinet replacements and kitchen renovations.

A notable voluntary structural upgrade for a new garage was completed in 2003 at a cost of $60,000. The building experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues in 2006-2007, including problems with plumbing, electrical systems, ventilation, lead paint concerns, and fire safety equipment, though all these violations were abated by December 2006. More recent inspections in 2009, 2014 (showing mold and mildew issues), and 2018 have been recorded, with most recent violations indicating primarily routine issues rather than systemic problems.

The property has experienced three confirmed cooking-related incidents (with no civilian injuries) and an alarm system malfunction since records began. The building's location has generated multiple parking-related complaints in 2023-2024, with numerous reports of vehicles blocking driveways, though most could not be validated or resulted in official citations. Recent environmental service calls in 2024 have primarily concerned general street and sidewalk cleaning issues. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep with significant investment in recent years, though past issues with unauthorized modifications and various habitability concerns have been documented.
