1562-1564 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1562-1564 Waller Street in Haight Ashbury, constructed in 1908, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades. Most recently, in 2023, the property required repairs to address dry rot in the floor framing of the rear sunroom, following a complaint in March 2023 regarding unpermitted structural modifications and expired permits from 2021.

The building has experienced recurring issues with dry rot, particularly in the sun porch and light wells, with similar repairs documented in both 2021 and 1998. A cluster of building and fire safety violations was recorded in late 2016 and early 2017, including front door repairs and required updates to carbon monoxide and smoke alarms, though these were all abated by February 2017. The property has seen substantial interior improvements, including a bathroom remodeling in 2019 with modern fixtures and tiles, and infrastructure upgrades such as sewer and house trap replacement in 2018.

Historical records indicate previous maintenance work including reroofing, drainage improvements, and various facade and structural repairs dating back to the 1990s. Planning records show attempts to convert part of the property into a bed-and-breakfast establishment between 1998 and 2000, but these applications were ultimately disapproved, and the property remains a multi-family residential building. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as sidewalk cleaning and public utilities, rather than building-specific concerns, suggesting these are general neighborhood maintenance matters.
