875 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

875 Waller Street is a 3-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, constructed in 1961 and currently owned by the Habib A Carouba Revocable Living Trust. The property underwent significant improvements and compliance updates between 2016-2018, including the legalization of a ground floor unit (Unit #5) in 2016-2017, which involved substantial work including fire sprinkler system installations, electrical upgrades, and plumbing modifications totaling over $60,000. The building received comprehensive window replacements in 2006 (51 windows and 2 patio doors) and several mechanical updates including water heater replacements and fire safety system improvements.

Multiple building violations were recorded in early 2018, including issues related to fire safety (sprinklers, smoke alarms), self-closing doors, and garbage bin placement; however, all these violations were resolved by March 2018. The property also had some infrastructure maintenance needs addressed through various permits, including exterior platform repairs in 2003 and plumbing work related to fire safety systems in 2017. Recent external maintenance records show routine property management activity, with 311 calls in 2022-2024 primarily related to sidewalk issues, tree maintenance, and street cleaning.

The building has undergone regular inspections and improvements to maintain safety and compliance with city regulations. Historical records indicate previous concerns regarding unauthorized short-term rentals, which were resolved, and earlier maintenance issues such as a gate lock problem and plumbing concerns from the early 2000s. The most recent significant building improvement was the window replacement work completed in 2018, enhancing the building's energy efficiency and aesthetics.
