1150-1152 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1150-1152 Valencia Street, built in 1906, contains 7 units and has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofits in 2018-2020, addressing soft-story vulnerabilities with steel moment frames and other structural improvements.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance and safety issues, including electrical concerns with two small outlet fires in 2016, a malfunctioning CO detector, and a smoke detector activation, though no civilian injuries were reported in these incidents. There was also a period of heating system violations in 2006-2007 when unauthorized heater installations occurred in apartment #3, along with various maintenance issues such as plumbing problems, mold, and water damage complaints in 2007-2009. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance efforts, including a siding replacement project in 2020, and the building has achieved compliance with current seismic safety requirements as a Tier 4 soft-story retrofit property.

The commercial portion of the building (Sugoi Sushi) experienced a vacant storefront violation in 2022 that was resolved in 2023. While there have been multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding various issues including garbage, parking violations, and sidewalk problems, these appear to be general neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns. The property is currently in compliance with all major safety requirements, though there is one open case regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk from July 2024.
