201-203 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit residential building at 201-203 Francisco Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Shoo N Ong Family Trust, was constructed in 1927. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2010 costing $14,780, the replacement of two furnaces and flues in 2011 (though this permit expired), and more recently, a sewer and house trap replacement in 2022.

A notable incident occurred in 2009 when there was a violation regarding lumber and metal vent pipes on the roof, which created safety concerns and was eventually abated in 2010, along with reports of a rotted roof deck that nearly affected a neighboring property. The building has experienced multiple fire safety system activations, though thankfully none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. These incidents were primarily due to false alarms and system malfunctions, with one instance of a confined chimney or flue fire documented.

Recent history (2024) shows no significant infrastructure issues within the building itself, though there have been numerous reports of graffiti in the immediate vicinity, with several cases being resolved through chemical removal. The property has maintained its basic structural elements, with major systems like HVAC and plumbing receiving regular updates, as evidenced by the completed permits for furnace and electrical work in 2011 and the more recent plumbing updates. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance of critical systems, with particular attention paid to roofing, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure over the years.
