1426 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1426 Waller St in Haight Ashbury, owned by Delcarlo Family Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1908. Most recently, in September 2022, Apartment #1 received a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel valued at $32,500, including new dedicated electrical circuits for appliances. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014, bringing it into compliance with seismic safety standards at a cost of $60,000. Several important safety improvements have been made over the years, including the installation of handrails in 2011 to address safety violations, and the replacement of an outdated fire alarm panel in 2007.

The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly related to moisture and mold issues. Multiple complaints were filed in 2011 regarding interior conditions, including mold/mildew in kitchens, cleaning needs, and plumbing issues, all of which were subsequently abated. A significant complaint in 2018 reported recurring mold problems possibly related to water intrusion from a cracked window and ventilation issues. While this complaint was marked as not active, it indicates historical moisture problems.

The property also underwent security improvements in 2003, addressing exterior door self-closing devices and glazing reinforcement requirements. Recent exterior issues include a collapsed sidewalk (open as of June 2024) and a reported tree damage case (resolved in November 2024). The building's fire alarm system had two complaints in 2013, both of which were promptly corrected. Regular maintenance and compliance work, such as the soft-story retrofit, suggests ongoing attention to building safety standards, though some older permits from 1994 (reroofing), 2000 (sidewalk repair), and 2007 (fire alarm panel replacement) are listed as expired.
