559-561 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 559-561 Waller Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Waller Mac LLC, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, with particular attention required for addressing wood deterioration. In 2009, the property underwent dry rot repairs to the front wood stair elements, representing one of the more recent major maintenance activities, costing $3,000.

Previously, in 2005, the building experienced multiple violations that were subsequently addressed, including issues with front stairs requiring handrails, electrical outlet repairs, security improvements, and fire safety concerns - all of which were abated by June 2005. Between 2004 and 2005, various structural repairs were completed, including work on rear steps and window repairs totaling over $40,000.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly related to exterior stairs and structural components, as evidenced by multiple repair permits and violation notices over the years. More recently, during late 2024, the building's immediate vicinity has faced urban challenges typical of the neighborhood, including several 311 calls regarding garbage and debris, graffiti on public spaces, and occasional encampment reports, though these external matters do not directly impact the building's internal conditions. It's worth noting that while the building had significant violations in 2005, these were promptly addressed and there have been no recorded building violations since that time, suggesting improved maintenance compliance in recent years.
