1723-1727 Stockton St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 1723-1727 Stockton Street is a 3-story, multi-family residential building containing 6 units, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Benjamin A Fong Lvg Tr. The building has been undergoing significant renovation work since early 2023, which has resulted in multiple code enforcement issues.

The most critical current violation, filed in April 2023 and still active, involves unauthorized construction work beyond approved permits in both the front and rear buildings, including interior demolition, rough framing, window replacements, and electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. The property has received multiple permits in 2024 aimed at addressing these violations, including substantial interior renovations, window replacements, and electrical rewiring of units 1725A, 1727A, and 1727B. Recent concerns have emerged regarding potential lead hazards, as evidenced by a June 2024 complaint about peeling lead-based paint near a preschool play area, though this issue was marked as not active by September 2024.

The building has a history of permit compliance issues, with past violations recorded in 2006 for unauthorized stair replacement work, and more recently in 2023-2024 for various construction activities. Multiple permits have been filed in 2024 for plumbing and electrical work, including new kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and hydronic heating systems in several units. The property is also undergoing an approved project to enclose rear porches on the second and third levels of the rear building, which requires a rear yard variance due to the structure's existing noncompliance with rear yard requirements.
