1701-1711 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 2-story mixed-use building at 1701-1711 Powell Street in North Beach, owned by Callan Grandchildrens Trust, was constructed in 1908 and contains 8 residential units along with commercial space. The property has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with major works completed between 2020-2022 including a complete reroofing ($28,000), the installation of a new fire alarm system ($13,000), and comprehensive building and life safety upgrades. These improvements encompassed the installation of new fire alarm components, a sprinkler system reconfiguration, and the addition of various safety features such as horn strobes and smoke detectors.

The building also underwent substantial interior improvements in 2020-2021, including electrical, plumbing, flooring, and HVAC updates ($110,000), and voluntary lateral strengthening for seismic improvement ($60,000). The property has experienced routine inspections and some regulatory matters, with violations from 2008 regarding fire safety, egress obstruction, and other building code compliance issues, though these were all abated by March 2008. More recent fire-related incidents have primarily involved false alarms, with one noted fire code violation in 2021 that was resolved.

The commercial portion of the building, which operates as a restaurant, has undergone several improvements including a 2018 renovation to add a new mezzanine and updated facilities. Recent maintenance issues have been documented through multiple 311 calls regarding garbage management on the street, with recurring reports of overflowing city garbage cans from late 2024 to early 2025, though these are external to the building itself. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes and fire safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of numerous permits and the resolution of any cited violations.
