1243-1245 Willard St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1243-1245 Willard Street, owned by William K. Obrien and Ming C R, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years.

The most recent major renovation was a bathroom remodel in 2007 ($13,500), while earlier improvements included foundation protection work in 2002, addition of a skylight in 1998, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 1998. The building has also received necessary structural attention, including floor joist reinforcement in the kitchen area in 1994 and repairs to the front entry and bay window roof in 1991. The property has experienced some regulatory and maintenance issues, including two notable incidents: unauthorized paint removal in 2011 (with environmental concerns due to paint chip migration) and unpermitted basement construction work in 2002, though both issues were promptly addressed.

The surrounding infrastructure has faced ongoing challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street and sidewalk conditions in recent years, with the most recent pavement defect report from September 2023 still showing as open. Several reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2017 and 2019 were all resolved when vehicles were no longer present upon inspection. A significant sidewalk collapse was reported and resolved in 2021, indicating some infrastructure challenges in the immediate area.
