445-449 Tehama St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 445-449 Tehama Street property is a 4-story, 11-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Leffers Tr. The building has undergone significant renovations and repairs over recent years, most notably between 2017-2020, including a major $100,000 renovation in 2017, the repair of dry rot on the back staircase in 2016, and the installation of a PV solar system in 2021.

In 2018, the building experienced multiple violations that were documented in May, including issues with heating systems, windows, interior surfaces, and plumbing, though many of these were subsequently addressed through permits for heater repairs and associated work. The property has seen substantial unit improvements over the years, including the addition of new fire sprinkler systems in 2012-2013, electrical upgrades, and various unit renovations between 2011-2012. Recent issues have centered around building safety systems, with a fire extinguisher violation issued in August 2024 that was recorded as requiring correction by November 2024.

The building has experienced periodic infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2018 regarding mold, wall damage, and heating issues, though these were largely addressed through subsequent repair permits. Historical complaints from 2007-2009 raised concerns about structural safety, maintenance systems, and unauthorized units, but these issues were marked as resolved. The surrounding area has seen regular 311 calls regarding parking enforcement and sidewalk maintenance, with multiple citations issued between 2024-2025 for various parking violations, though these are external to the building's condition and management.
