1497-1499 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1497-1499 Valencia St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Steven Silver. The building has undergone numerous improvements and renovations over the years, with the most recent significant work completed in 2023 involving stucco repairs, garage door replacement, and structural repairs at a cost of $17,922.

This followed earlier 2023 work for installing new tandoor equipment under a Type 1 hood. The building has a history of commercial use modifications, particularly between 2015-2016, when substantial improvements were made to the commercial space including kitchen equipment upgrades, electrical work, and plumbing installations totaling over $40,000, along with the installation of outdoor heaters and a new awning system. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, including a 2009 violation regarding cracked and detached stucco on the south elevation, which was resolved in 2011, and a 2021 complaint about gas heaters being positioned near wooden structures.

More recent concerns have emerged regarding building exterior maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025 relating to garbage, debris, and sanitation issues in the vicinity of the property. Planning records indicate various approvals for outdoor seating, liquor licensing, and building modifications, while a pair of fire complaints in December 2022 related to Shared Spaces was deferred in March 2023. The most significant building-related works have focused on both residential and commercial improvements, with regular maintenance tasks such as reroofing (completed in 2016) and stucco repairs being performed as needed.
