2049-2053 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The multi-family residential building at 2049-2053 Powell Street in North Beach, owned by Edmond K Wong, is a 3-story flats/duplex structure built in 1909, containing 3 units. The building's permit history shows minimal recent activity, with only one street space permit issued in 2012 at minimal cost, and an old fire sprinkler installation permit from 1984 for storage and garage areas that has since expired.

The building has undergone several routine housing inspections over the years, with records from 2001, 2005, 2010, and 2018, though none indicated significant ongoing issues. A notable violation occurred in 2009 regarding egress obstruction due to garbage bins and stored materials at the exterior entryway, which was resolved within approximately one month. The property has experienced persistent issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with at least 10 documented incidents between 2022 and 2025, most recently in January 2025.

Citations were frequently issued in response to these violations, though some cases could not be validated or resulted in "unable to locate" responses. There was also one instance of defaced street cleaning signage reported in November 2022 that was subsequently resolved. While the building has maintained compliance with routine inspections, the recurring driveway blocking issues suggest ongoing challenges with parking management in the vicinity, though this directly relates to street access rather than building conditions or resident amenities.
