1853-1855 Scott St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 1853-1855 Scott Street is a century-old (1900) multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, consisting of two units in a single-story flats and duplex configuration. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past 13 years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2021, including an expensive $36,000 reroofing project and the installation of eight new wooden windows, one of which is street-visible. In 2011, substantial improvements were made to both units, including a partial kitchen remodel, bathroom upgrades, electrical panel replacements, and the installation of new furnace systems.

The building's infrastructure has received attention, with a sewer replacement completed in 2017. There were some notable compliance issues in 2007 related to a fence height violation and encroachment concerns between properties, though these were resolved by 2010 following proper permits and corrections. The property has maintained a relatively low number of recent complaints or violations, with only routine maintenance and cleaning issues being reported through 311 calls in 2023-2024, primarily related to street cleaning and parking matters.

Recent inspections in 2024 did not reveal any concerning findings, and all historical building permits have been appropriately closed. The property has experienced two fire-related incidents, both of which were minor: a malfunctioning alarm system and a power line issue, neither resulting in injuries. Recent activity at the property has been minimal aside from routine maintenance calls, with no significant building complaints or violations recorded in the past several years. The most recent major building work was the 2021 window and roofing improvements, which enhance the building's aesthetic and structural integrity while maintaining historical elements through in-kind replacements.
