1728-1730 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 1728-1730 Waller Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Sos 2008 Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various challenges over its history. In 2010, substantial improvements were made including interior renovations valued at $65,000 that added a bathroom, upgraded electrical systems, and new plumbing for another bathroom.

Prior to that, between 2004-2005, the building underwent multiple renovations including a kitchen remodel, electrical upgrades, and some repairs to address dry rot in back stairs. A serious incident occurred in 1993 when the building suffered fire damage affecting floor joists and windows. The property experienced maintenance and compliance issues in 2004, including violations related to plumbing and sanitation that resulted from raw sewage problems, though these were abated by September 2004. More recent history shows a period of vacancy in 2013-2014 that required attention to comply with the Vacant Building Ordinance.

The building has maintained relative stability since then, though there have been ongoing maintenance and environmental challenges in recent years. Recent 311 calls from 2021-2024 indicate recurring issues with graffiti, sidewalk cleaning needs, and a missing side sewer vent cover from 2022. The most recent building-related 311 calls have been for abandoned furniture and graffiti, with the most recent issues being addressed in late 2024. While the property has faced various challenges over the years, the building appears to have received necessary repairs and upgrades, though recent calls suggest ongoing maintenance requirements in the surrounding area.
