17 Sonoma St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 17 Sonoma Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Poy & Tsui Lee 2009 Family Trust, was constructed in 1907 and consists of three stories. The building's maintenance history shows several significant events, particularly in 2013 when multiple building violations were recorded, including concerns about lead paint, weather-proofing issues on siding, and various fire safety concerns such as fire escape maintenance, gas utility requirements, and smoke detector compliance – all of which were officially abated by March 2013.

A routine inspection in 2005 also identified multiple safety concerns that were addressed, including fire escape obstructions and fire extinguisher maintenance. More recent records from 2018 show attempted renovations to a second-floor bathroom, including work on the vanity, toilet, and lighting, though these permits were ultimately cancelled. The property has experienced various service requests and routine maintenance calls in recent years, with the most recent being related to garbage and debris issues in 2024.

There have been multiple street cleaning and general service requests recorded through SF311 between 2020 and 2024, all of which have been closed and resolved, primarily involving Recology and DPW services for various street maintenance needs. While the building's history shows a pattern of addressing safety and maintenance issues, particularly during the early 2010s, there have been no recent major violations or complaints directly related to the building's condition or safety systems. The property's most recent documented concerns have primarily involved street-level maintenance and waste management issues, which appear to have been promptly resolved through appropriate channels.
