1651 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1651 Waller Street, owned by the Ursula Haas Trust, was constructed in 1916 and is three stories tall. The property has undergone several maintenance activities over the years, including a reroofing project in 2013 costing $7,000, sidewalk and street space permits in 2010, and the more recent installation of a new 4-inch double wall flue for the water heater completed in September 2024.

The building has experienced multiple fire safety issues, with violations documented in 2018 requiring the removal of egress obstructions, and in 2020 for alarm system maintenance. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in 2003, including concerns about fire escape ladders, smoke enclosure doors, fire extinguisher tags, roof deck safety, and various building maintenance issues, all of which were eventually abated by August 2018. Recent complaints indicate ongoing concerns about building conditions, including a boarded-up ground level window (2024), and a report of inadequate heating in a third-floor unit where the tenant was advised to use a space heater upon move-in (March 2024).

The property has maintained historical compliance with routine housing inspections, though a violation for blocked exits was noted in 2011 and promptly corrected. The building's emergency preparedness systems have required attention over the years, with a fire alarm system violation issued in 2020 that was subsequently abated. Recent activity at the property has included regular municipal services addressing external conditions, with several 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sidewalk cleaning, graffiti removal, and tree root maintenance.
