1401-1423 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1401-1423 17th Street in Potrero Hill was constructed in 1907 and is currently owned by Central Family Trust. The two-story structure has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past decade, with the most recent major improvement being the installation of an ADA accessible entrance in 2022. Between 2016-2017, the building underwent substantial maintenance work including repairs to address membrane damage ($5,000), dry rot issues ($12,000), and the replacement of the main electrical service system ($17,838) which included comprehensive rewiring and the installation of new safety features.

The building has experienced recurring electrical issues, with complaints in 2020 regarding a disconnected ground cable and in 2017 concerning improper over-current protection on the main panel. Historically, the building faced several maintenance and safety challenges, particularly in the early 2000s, when violations were documented related to security locks, door glazing, handrails, floor coverings, mold/mildew, plumbing issues, and sanitation problems. These violations were all officially abated by May 2004.

Plumbing infrastructure improvements have been carried out, including sewer repairs in 2020 and drain line installations in 2015. The property's recent history shows ongoing maintenance activity, with the most current building permit indicating work related to graffiti removal and improvements to exterior lighting. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property in 2024, these primarily relate to external issues like sidewalk conditions, graffiti, and street cleaning rather than building-specific problems.
