1360-1362 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1360-1362 Valencia Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, consists of 14 units and was constructed in 1904. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2014 costing $65,000 to enhance seismic safety, and recreational improvements with the conversion of a retail space to a gym in 2019. Recent maintenance issues have been addressed, including the installation of emergency lighting in hallways and stairways in 2016, though there have been recurring concerns about building maintenance.

A routine inspection in July 2023 revealed multiple violations including interior painting, fire safety systems, weather proofing, fire escape maintenance, and plumbing issues, all of which were addressed by August 2023. The building's maintenance history shows both improvements and challenges, with past violations related to fire safety systems in 2005-2009 (including extinguishers, emergency lighting, and sprinkler service requirements) being resolved. Historical complaints from 1999-2004 indicated various maintenance issues, including a ceiling collapse in 1999, though most have been resolved.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk tree root damage and debris removal, rather than internal building conditions. The building's owners, Henry J & Noris E Larkin 20, have generally complied with required improvements, including a 2005 repair of wood deterioration and various electrical and plumbing upgrades. The property achieved Tier 4 soft-story compliance, indicating completed seismic improvements, and has maintained active reporting of building systems through routine inspections and permit applications.
