751-759 Waller St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 751-759 Waller Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Sam R & Diana H Hunt Trust, has undergone significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2022-2023, substantial renovation work was completed in Unit 757, including a comprehensive remodel of 2.5 bathrooms, kitchen, and electrical systems, followed by additional repairs to windows and wall modifications.

The building achieved mandatory seismic compliance in 2017 with plywood reinforcement of the cripple wall, and completed a solar panel installation in 2013-2014 featuring 49 modules and an 11.76 kW system. Historically, the property experienced notable issues in the year 2000, with multiple housing violations related to plumbing, electrical, and structural problems, including concerns about water heaters, HVAC systems, and various fixtures. These violations were officially abated by April 2000.

Between 2019 and 2023, the building has received regular maintenance attention, including the replacement of a failing rear yard retaining wall in 2019, installation of a hot water fan coil system in late 2022, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The property has maintained active responsiveness to external issues, as evidenced by timely resolution of recent 311 calls regarding sanitation (2024), general cleaning, and graffiti removal. While there were past complaints about building conditions and security issues from 1997-2002, the most recent inspections and permit history suggest ongoing maintenance and improvements are being prioritized, with particular attention to safety systems and structural integrity.
