1355-1357 Kansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 1355-1357 Kansas Street is a two-story multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, consisting of two units and built in 1908, currently owned by Emily Votaw Holmes. The building's history reveals several significant events, most notably a fire incident in 2005 that required substantial repairs amounting to $20,000 to address damage on the third floor, followed by dry rot bathroom repairs.

The building underwent important safety improvements in 2006 with the removal of hazardous attic wiring, and in 2005, the electrical service was upgraded along with various bathroom improvements. The attic was restored to non-habitable status in 2000, and the building received a new roof in 1999. Recent and ongoing issues include an active housing complaint from 1999 regarding alleged illegal unit status due to suspected electricity sharing between units.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding construction equipment blocking the sidewalk and waste management concerns, as well as historical issues with graffiti, sidewalk conditions, and a missing side sewer vent cover. Notable infrastructure concerns were documented between 2020-2021, including sidewalk defects and tree damage. While most building permits from the early 2000s have expired, they represent a period of significant rehabilitation work, particularly focusing on structural, electrical, and safety improvements.
