1163-1169 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110

1163-1169 Alabama Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by John Macomber, this property has undergone substantial renovations in recent years, with the most recent work being the scheduled replacement of 1,500 square feet of siding on the southern wall, set to utilize wood siding in visible areas and fiber cement elsewhere, with a cost of approximately $55,199. The building underwent significant unit improvements in 2018, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels across multiple units ($50,000 each), involving new electrical systems, plumbing, lighting, appliances, and flooring.

The electrical infrastructure was notably upgraded in 2016 with a 400-amp service upgrade, and in 2021, a fire safety improvement was completed with the installation of 11 fire suppression heads in the street-level garage and studio. The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns, including past violations related to fire safety, lead paint hazards, and general maintenance issues, all of which were successfully abated by July 2010. These included violations for broken windows, egress obstructions, and the need for fire extinguishers.

The property has experienced some infrastructure issues in the past, with a significant plumbing complaint in 1996 regarding leakage in the kitchen and bathroom, though this was resolved by late 1997. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement and minor infrastructure issues in the surrounding area, with no recent building-specific complaints or violations on record since the 2018-2021 renovation period. The most recent exterior work, currently in progress with siding replacement, continues the building's trend of maintaining and upgrading its external appearance and structural elements.
