656-660 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story multi-family residential building at 656-660 Valencia Street, owned by Lee Fay C & Richard S, was constructed in 1906 and contains four units. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two decades, with a notable recurring pattern of stair-related problems. Most recently, in October 2010, dry rot damage was documented in the stair components, requiring repairs to the top section of the back stairway at a cost of $2,500, which were completed by February 2011.

Earlier, in 2002, there was another incident involving rear stair repairs, and the building has undergone multiple reroofing projects between 2007 and 2008, with costs ranging from $4,300 to $5,600. The property has faced several violations and complaints, with a routine apartment house inspection in 2002 revealing multiple issues including combustible storage, stair repairs needed, and various fire safety concerns, all of which were subsequently abated. A similar set of violations occurred in 2010, including problems with stairs, windows, weatherproofing, and fire safety requirements, all related to the earlier-mentioned dry rot issues.

In 2008, there was a complaint regarding major construction without permits, though this was resolved quickly. More recent records from 2024-2025 show multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning issues near the property, including reports of garbage, debris, and encampments, though these external conditions do not directly reflect on the building's internal maintenance status. The most recent building-related violations and complaints date back approximately 13 years, suggesting improved maintenance responsiveness in recent years.
