1330 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1330 Valencia Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Gabriel Bert and constructed in 1906, is undergoing significant renovations in late 2024. Approximately $200,000 in permitted work includes window replacements, kitchen and bathroom remodels in units A and C, siding replacement, and electrical updates, suggesting active efforts to address building maintenance and modernization needs.

However, the property has an active housing violation from February 2020 (complaint 202018451) that remains unresolved, with multiple cited issues including security concerns (non-compliant exit door locks), lead paint concerns, weatherproofing problems, fire escape maintenance needs, and various building code compliance issues, all of which were documented during a period when tenants reported persistent problems with the front door lock lasting over eight months. The building's maintenance history shows recurring attention to roof issues, deck repairs, and various unit improvements, though several historical permits from the late 1990s and early 2000s for repairs and upgrades had either expired or required renewal. Recent plumbing and electrical permits in November 2024 for unit C and October 2024 for unit A indicate ongoing comprehensive renovations, including installation of new fixtures, appliances, lighting, and safety features such as smoke detectors.

The property has also experienced typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by 311 calls between 2022-2024, primarily related to street cleaning, sidewalk conditions, and parking enforcement, though these are external to the building itself. Historical complaints and routine inspections from the early 2000s revealed various concerns including unauthorized unit usage issues, illegal alterations, and periodic maintenance needs, though most of these have been resolved. Two 311 calls in 2024 regarding abandoned furniture and a refrigerator appliance were confirmed as resolved, and a 2005 fire alarm system complaint was found to have no merit.
