134-138 Hartford St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 134 Hartford Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the estate of Jose Manuel Villar. The property is undergoing significant development with an approved permit from December 2022 for horizontal and vertical additions, valued at $2.25 million, which aims to expand the existing two-unit structure and add a new residential unit, along with repairs to the front facade windows and doors, and removal of a curb cut and sidewalk.

This ambitious development project has gone through various stages of planning review, including approvals for condominium conversion and CEQA clearance, though there are some "on hold" statuses noted in the planning records. The property's external environment has experienced several maintenance and safety challenges over the past decade, with records showing periodic issues including graffiti (2013 and 2020), abandoned vehicles (2014), sidewalk defects (2013), and various street cleaning concerns such as human waste and medical waste (2019-2021).

While these incidents were generally addressed and resolved by city agencies, they indicate some ongoing public space maintenance needs in the immediate vicinity of the building. The historical record from 2014 also shows a response to damaged trees and vandalism in the area, while a successful encampment investigation in 2019 confirmed no encampments were present at that time. While these external incidents don't directly impact building safety, they provide context about the surrounding neighborhood conditions prior to the current major renovation project.
