861 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

861 Valencia Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building containing 4 units, constructed in 1979 and currently owned by the Richard Lee 2006 Grantor Trust. The building has undergone several notable maintenance and compliance events over the years, most notably in 2015 when a routine safety inspection revealed multiple violations that required attention, including the need for ventilation in public halls, battery-operated smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and various building safety measures, though all were subsequently abated by January 2016.

The property has also had three routine safety inspections between 2003 and 2015, with the 2003 inspection identifying deficiencies related to fire escape drop ladders and gas meter instructions, and the 1989 record shows interior renovations involving wall removal, floor updates, and plumbing and electrical work. Recent maintenance records show a reroofing project in 2000 costing $2,750, though the permit has since expired.

The building's exterior has faced some challenges, as evidenced by recent 311 calls in 2022-2024 regarding graffiti on various surfaces, including the building's commercial front and nearby public property, most of which were resolved through city intervention. The property owner has generally responded to compliance issues, as demonstrated by the timely resolution of violations identified during housing inspections. Recent municipal interactions include requests for street cleaning and a bicycle lane blockage investigation, though the nature of these issues suggests they were related to the surrounding neighborhood rather than the building itself.
