445 Webster St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 15-unit apartment building at 445 Webster Street in Hayes Valley is a 3-story structure built in 1926, currently owned by Gst Tr Fbo Amy Wilton. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $118,000, which improved the building's earthquake safety. Recent improvements include a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit #9 completed in 2024 ($66,607), along with necessary repairs to the back stairs to comply with safety inspections ($7,500).

The building has also received important maintenance updates, including a reroofing project in 2013 ($27,000) and window replacements in 2012 ($24,000). The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most significant period of concern occurring in 2007 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with garbage receptacle placement, electrical outlets, ceiling repairs, and lead paint hazards. These violations were all officially abated by February 2017.

The building has undergone regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2018. While there have been some recent maintenance calls recorded in 2024 regarding street cleaning and noise, these issues appear to be outside the building's internal operations. The property has primarily focused on structural improvements and modernization efforts, with no active building violations or significant complaints on record since 2016.
