1033 Texas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

Located in Potrero Hill, 1033 Texas Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Christopher Lawrence. The building has undergone several significant changes over its history, with the most notable recent work occurring in 2017 when a major renovation was undertaken to relocate the historic building on site, raise it to create a new basement level, and rehabilitate it as two units, with an associated permit cost of $450,000. This project was part of a larger development plan that initially included constructing a new 4-story building with three units, though that permit was withdrawn.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, most notably in 2006 when multiple violations were recorded including structural hazards, roof weatherproofing issues, weather-related problems, and various repair needs throughout the building. These violations stemmed from a complaint filed in February 2006 detailing numerous problems including roof leaks, dry rot, water damage, and issues with stairs, windows, and floors. All these violations were officially abated by November 2006. The building experienced several fire-related incidents with gas leaks recorded in 2017 and two such incidents in 2020, though fortunately, there were no civilian injuries reported in any of these events.

More recent fire complaints were made in 2021 regarding alarm systems and 2022 concerning weeds and grass, with the former showing correction of the condition. The property has seen considerable attention in terms of both planning and fire safety, including multiple project review meetings and planning records detailing various proposed improvements. Recent activity in 2023-2024 has primarily involved external issues such as street cleaning and parking matters, with several 311 calls related to garbage, debris, and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity. A notable feature of the building's history is its designation for significant rehabilitation work, with planning documents referencing its historical status and plans for comprehensive improvements including the addition of new units, garage facilities, and overall site improvements.
