1451-1453 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1451-1453 Valencia Street in the Inner Mission is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1977, containing 5 units and currently owned by JMS Residential LLC. The building's recent history has been marked by several concerning issues, most notably a cluster of active violations filed in July 2017 related to general dilapidation, inadequate water pressure, problems with smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, water heaters, damaged walls and ceilings, and various maintenance concerns. These violations, some of which are categorized under other or interior surfaces sections, remain unresolved as of October 2023.

The building has also experienced recurring maintenance problems, including a complaint from July 2017 about peeling paint around windows, lack of hot water, garage conditions, and mold issues, though this specific complaint was marked as not active by December 2017. Earlier inspections in 2006 and 2008 revealed various building code compliance issues, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has undergone several permitted modifications over the years, including a significant renovation in 2004 involving toilet and kitchen upgrades and partition relocations (costing $87,000), and a change of use in 2011 from retail to massage therapy with associated interior improvements ($40,035).

The building's electrical infrastructure has been worked on periodically, with the most recent work completed in 2011 installing lighting and receptacles. While historical records show earlier improvements such as reroofing in 1993, the building has experienced more recent challenges with water pressure and general maintenance. The property has been the subject of multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding various street and sidewalk cleaning issues, though these are external to the building itself. Additionally, there were some fire safety concerns noted in 2011 with violations issued, though these were addressed within a short timeframe.
