1163-1165 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The building at 1163-1165 Harrison Street is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1910 in the South of Market neighborhood, currently owned by Matthew J. Silveira. Most notably, the property was subject to a building violation in mid-2023 (NOV 202309845) for unauthorized conversion from two flats to a single-family dwelling, involving the removal of a lower-level kitchen and wall modifications.

This violation was addressed by September 2023 through substantial work including the reinstallation of the kitchen, construction of a fire-rated wall between units, and related electrical updates, with permits totaling over $36,000. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, including bathroom remodels on both floors (2019), siding replacements (2020-2021), and electrical system upgrades. A furnace was installed in the crawl space in 2023, and a fire alarm system violation was corrected in late 2020.

The property has experienced multiple fire alarm system activations over the years, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to non-urgent matters such as graffiti, sidewalk parking, and street cleaning issues, indicating typical urban environmental maintenance concerns. Planning records confirm the building's designation as a flats property and specifically address the kitchen requirements for each unit, while parking-related complaints near the property have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and compliance efforts, with most recent work focusing on ensuring proper unit configuration and addressing fire safety requirements.
