1517 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1517 Waller Street in Haight Ashbury is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Edlby Estates LLC. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with Unit 4 receiving comprehensive updates in 2023 including kitchen and bathroom remodels and window replacements.

The building completed its required soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016 (Tier 3 status with Certificate of Completion issued) and has maintained active compliance with building codes, though recent routine housing inspections in 2023 are still listed as active. The building has experienced several renovation projects over the past decade, particularly between 2014-2016 when multiple units underwent substantial upgrades including electrical system improvements, plumbing renovations, and general remodeling. These renovations were sometimes marked by concerns regarding construction practices, as evidenced by complaints in 2014 related to improper dust containment during wall demolition work.

The property has maintained good building safety compliance since addressing earlier violations from 2003 related to fire safety and security requirements. Recent sidewalk cleaning records from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing urban maintenance challenges in the surrounding area, with multiple reports of waste issues, though these are external to the building itself. Two minor fire-related incidents were recorded, neither resulting in civilian injuries or significant damage.
