1307-1329 Stevenson St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-story, 12-unit apartment building at 1307-1329 Stevenson Street, built in 1907 and currently owned by John E Wai 1981 Living Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, a mandatory soft-story retrofit was completed in 2024 at a cost of $90,000, bringing the building into compliance with current seismic safety requirements. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with the most recent complaint in January 2023 reporting leaks and mold problems related to the roof/ceiling work, and previous concerns about water heater installations in 2016-2018.

The building has a history of maintenance violations from 2016 requiring attention to various issues including lead paint hazards, mold, and stair repairs, though these were subsequently abated. Recent years have seen ongoing attention to building systems and infrastructure, including plumbing work (water main repairs, water heater installations) and electrical upgrades (kitchen and bathroom remodel). The property has experienced some fire safety concerns, with multiple false alarms and system malfunctions recorded by the fire department, though no significant fire incidents or civilian injuries have been reported.

Recent tenant concerns have included issues with garbage management, parking violations, and exterior maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024. The building had one documented tenant buyout in 2018 for $15,000 affecting four tenants. While many past violations have been resolved, as of early 2025, there are ongoing concerns about garbage management in the vicinity of the property.
