1253-1255 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1253-1255 Sanchez Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Siu-chow Family Living Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in August 2022, the property received a complete reroofing with modified bitumen at a cost of $16,000, following earlier exterior maintenance including wall shingle replacement in June 2022 ($2,000).

The building has had notable safety inspections and remediation efforts, particularly in 2010 when multiple issues were identified and subsequently resolved, including concerns about water heater strapping, fire escape egress obstructions, fire escape drop ladder condition, and fire extinguisher maintenance. A similar routine inspection in 2005 addressed various safety requirements, and historical records show earlier concerns from 1995 about unauthorized basement unit construction. The property experienced some regulatory challenges in 2002, including violations related to gas meter safety and fire safety requirements, though these were all abated by September 2005.

More recently, there have been multiple parking-related incidents near the property between September 2024 and January 2025, including reports of illegal parking, blocked spaces, and construction equipment-related issues, though these are not directly related to building conditions. A single fire alarm incident was recorded, though it was determined to be a system malfunction with no civilian injuries reported. The building's recent maintenance history suggests active stewardship of the property's systems and infrastructure, with regular attention to both routine upkeep and safety requirements.
