1173 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 1173 Hayes Street property is a four-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1912 in the Alamo Square neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years, with the most recent major work being a complete reroofing project completed in December 2023 at a cost of $23,100.

Of particular note is the building's completion of the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program in 2020, following a period of non-compliance that generated multiple violations between 2014-2017, with the final certification issued in 2023. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its heating system, electrical infrastructure, and fire safety components, including several instances of heater outages (2009), electrical wiring violations (2009-2014), and fire alarm system problems (multiple years).

Historical concerns have included unauthorized basement occupancy issues (2009-2016) and various building system failures that prompted numerous housing inspections. While most violations have been addressed and closed, including several fire safety violations in 2009 and a blocked exits complaint in 2019, the building has continued to experience maintenance challenges as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding graffiti, garbage, and debris issues (2024-2025). The property has undergone several essential repairs over the years, including stair repairs in 2004, boiler system improvements in 2007, and various electrical upgrades, demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts by the current ownership.
