1359-1363 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit residential building at 1359-1363 Waller Street, located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by Ronald B Romine. The property has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues, with several significant events occurring over the past two decades. In 2011, the building experienced numerous concerning conditions including lack of heat, water damage, damaged walls and ceilings, and mold issues, though these were subsequently addressed through repairs including furnace replacement and plumbing improvements costing approximately $4,100.

Earlier issues from 2005 involved multiple safety and maintenance violations including inadequate security features, fire safety concerns, and building requirements, all of which were abated by May 2005. The building has undergone various maintenance work over the years, including dry rot repair on the back porch in 2000 and reroofing in 1996, though some permits from earlier years (1996 and 1984) expired without completion verification. More recently, the property has shown some concerning infrastructure needs, with complaints from 2017 regarding plumbing issues and window damage, though these complaints are now inactive. The most pressing recent concerns were documented in 2011, when multiple building violations were recorded and subsequently addressed, including issues with heating, interior surfaces, and water damage.

The property has been the subject of several street-related complaints in recent years, particularly in early 2025, though these primarily relate to parking enforcement and street cleaning rather than building condition issues. The building's history suggests a pattern of addressing maintenance issues as they arise, with most documented violations being resolved through appropriate corrections. The property has undergone several significant upgrades over the years, including HVAC system improvements and structural repairs, indicating ongoing maintenance efforts by the ownership. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly during the 2005-2011 period, there is no current pattern of unresolved safety or habitability issues on record.
