1457 Hudson Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

1457 Hudson Avenue is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Helen Chilton. The duplex has undergone significant renovation work since 2021, including multiple permits for bathroom additions, interior remodeling, electrical upgrades, and furnace installations. Most notably, recent permits from January 2025 indicate ongoing work to install new gas furnaces, remodel bathrooms and kitchens, and upgrade electrical systems, including the installation of 200-amp and 50-amp panels, circuits, and various appliances.

However, the property has been subject to several building violations and complaints, particularly in early 2022, when unauthorized work was documented, including sheetrock installation without proper inspections and window replacements without permits. These violations have resulted in active monitoring fees. The building's history includes a cluster of interior surface issues documented in 2013, including problems with walls, ceilings, floors, plumbing, and security features, though these violations were eventually abated.

Between September and February 2022, additional complaints were filed regarding unauthorized work and historic window replacement issues. Recent construction activity has focused on substantial system upgrades, including plumbing work and electrical improvements, though some permits from 2022 were canceled or suspended, suggesting some modifications to the original plans. The property has also experienced various maintenance issues in the vicinity, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding waste management and street cleaning, indicating ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance and garbage management. While significant improvements to the building's systems and structure are currently underway, the history of violations and complaints suggests a pattern of unauthorized work and permit compliance issues that may be relevant to resident experience and building maintenance.
