1566-1568 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1566-1568 Waller Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground floor commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Barbara P Fedun Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. A major renovation in 2005-2006 (valued at $45,000) included the construction of a new basement staircase, lowering the ground floor level to meet code requirements, installing new windows, and renovating multiple living spaces.

This work followed a 2004 complaint about an allegedly illegal habitable space behind the garage, which appears to have been resolved through the subsequent permitted work. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with water drainage systems, particularly regarding downspout clogging and drainage problems that have affected neighboring properties, with the most recent complaint documented in 2014. Safety concerns have also emerged periodically, including periods of missing fire safety equipment (fire extinguishers and smoke alarms) in 2012 and a temporary issue with blocked exits in 2011 that was promptly corrected. The property's plumbing infrastructure was addressed with a sewer replacement in 2009, and recent permits from 2023 suggest ongoing maintenance activities.

More recent history shows the property has maintained compliance with building codes, though there have been recurring issues with exterior maintenance and street-level concerns. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to exterior issues such as graffiti, tree maintenance, and street cleaning concerns, which are typical for urban properties. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance has been performed when issues arise, and most historical violations and complaints have been addressed and resolved, with no active violations currently on record. The property underwent significant renovation work in the mid-2000s to address various code compliance issues, and there have been no documented building permit violations since that time.
