1733-1737 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

1733-1737 Waller Street is a three-story multi-family residential building located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1907 and containing three units, currently owned by the Rebecca A Litke Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being a black mold problem reported in March 2024, along with basement flooding issues that reportedly remained unaddressed despite tenant complaints. The building suffered a fire incident in 2004 that damaged exterior stairs, requiring approximately $45,000 in repairs, followed by electrical work to install new lighting and receptacles in 2005.

Building violations from July 2003 highlighted multiple safety concerns, including security and fire hazards, though these were all officially abated by October 24, 2003. The property has undergone various infrastructure challenges over the years, including tree root damage to the sidewalk (2009-2011), sewage backup issues (2009), and more recent concerns involving garbage, debris, and safety hazards in the surrounding area. Recent exterior maintenance concerns have been documented through 311 calls, including reports of an encampment (2020) and waste issues (2024).

The building has undergone routine housing inspections, with the most recent active inspection recorded in 2008. Multiple street space permits were issued in 2004, though the specific purpose was not detailed in the records. While many past violations have been resolved, the recurring nature of maintenance issues and the recent mold problem suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and tenant response.
