1538-1542 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit residential building at 1538-1542 Waller Street, located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by Victoria Mausisa Lvg Tr. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, with the most recent being a sewer pull and replacement completed in June 2024, and a new house trap installation in August 2010.

Major upgrades include the installation of 23 replacement windows throughout all three units in December 1996. The building experienced notable violations in 2003 related to security and fire safety, including issues with exterior door self-closing devices and combustible storage in exterior stair alcoves, though these violations were promptly abated by September 2003. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2008, and while several street space permits have been issued over the years, including multiple permits in 2016 and 2015, these are primarily related to public right-of-way usage.

Recent activity around the property between 2023 and 2024 has primarily involved external maintenance and urban challenges, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on public sidewalks, and two active encampment reports from June and February 2024. The front sidewalk area between October and December 2023 experienced recurring graffiti incidents, though these were noted as not offensive and were eventually addressed through city services. The building's recent permit activity and infrastructure improvements suggest ongoing maintenance attention, while the primarily external nature of recent complaints indicates challenges related to the surrounding urban environment rather than building-specific issues.
