563-567 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 3-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 563-567 Waller Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant modifications and improvements in recent years, with some notable compliance issues. Most recently, there are ongoing concerns regarding the legalization of an as-built roof deck, with multiple complaints filed in July 2017 about unauthorized construction, though permits were subsequently filed in October 2017 to address these issues.

In 2015, the building underwent several compliance-related improvements, including window replacements on the front elevation and various plumbing and electrical upgrades to meet inspection requirements. The property has a history of maintenance and safety concerns, including a significant routine inspection in 2008 that identified multiple violations related to fire safety and security requirements, though these were all abated by December 2008. Earlier improvements include a substantial third-floor unit renovation in 2014 ($54,000) and various infrastructure upgrades in 2011, including electrical system improvements with new meters and distribution panels.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both interior and exterior systems, with recent plumbing work focus on addressing sewer issues (December 2024). The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti and illegal parking in the immediate vicinity, as documented in multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2024, though these are external matters not directly related to building conditions. The building's historical status is indicated by the Mills Act Historical Property Contract, and the property owner has demonstrated ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the building systems, though there have been some instances of work being performed without proper permits, as evidenced by the 2017 complaints about unauthorized roof deck construction.
