1252 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

This 2-unit multi-family residential building at 1252 Valencia St in San Francisco's Inner Mission was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Bruce P Helmberger and Barbara. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent work in 2021 involving hallway reconfigurations, bathroom modifications, and plumbing updates, along with electrical improvements such as GFCI installations in the kitchen. Notable upgrades include the installation of 8 solar PV modules in 2009, though several earlier construction permits from the late 1990s related to facade modifications and excavation work have since expired.

A commercial space has operated on the property, with a Health - Limited Restaurant permit approved in 2015 and café-related electrical modifications recorded in 2015. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns from the mid-1990s, including multiple building code violations related to inadequate heating, lack of smoke alarms, lighting issues, and pest problems, though these complaints were officially abated within several months of being filed. In 2003, there was a complaint regarding an allegedly illegal room lacking proper ventilation and windows, which was resolved within approximately two months.

Recent history shows more attention to building maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to garbage and debris issues on the property. While there have been several maintenance-related complaints in 2024, including instances of graffiti and a burnt-out street light, these cases were generally resolved promptly. The most recent building-related complaints show primarily external issues rather than internal habitability concerns.
