1265 Girard St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The 1265 Girard Street building is a 7-unit, 2-story multi-family residential structure built in 1928, currently owned by Thomas Richard E. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably a cluster of violations from June 2019 that included problems with fire safety, interior surfaces, and plumbing systems. These violations cited concerns such as damaged ceilings, fire escape ladder maintenance, lead paint hazards, fire extinguisher requirements, plumbing issues, and a lack of carbon monoxide alarms, though most of these have been marked as not active since December 2019.

There is also an active electrical service concern from March 2014 regarding exposed conduits and inadequate clearances, as well as a plumbing violation from July 2019 that remains open. The building has undergone multiple permit applications and corrections over the years, including window replacements in 2012, exterior stair repairs, and electrical modifications. Most concerning was a series of complaints in July 2013 regarding unauthorized removal of exterior stairs that affected emergency egress.

The property had significant infrastructure upgrades attempted in 2015, including street space permits and electrical service changes, though some permits are now expired. More recently, there have been consistent reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the building, with multiple 311 calls between October 2024 and January 2025, while a water heater replacement without proper permits remains an active concern from 2013. The building's location in Visitacion Valley has generated periodic maintenance and compliance issues, though many older violations have been resolved or expired.
