1562-1570 Stockton St, San Francisco, CA 94133

This three-story mixed-use building at 1562-1570 Stockton Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by DS Stockton St LLC, was constructed in 1907 and contains 6 residential units plus commercial space. The property has undergone various significant improvements and faced multiple challenges over the years. Most recently, there have been concerning safety issues reported in May 2024 regarding illegal kitchen access and dining layout, with multiple complaints about potentially hazardous conditions near the kitchen entrance.

In 2023-2024, parklet improvements were implemented with electrical work for heaters and lighting. The building underwent substantial electrical upgrades in 2009, including a 400-amp service installation for residential and commercial spaces, and various kitchen and bathroom renovations have been completed over the years. The property has a history of plumbing and fire safety concerns, with notable incidents in 2004-2006 involving leaks, unpermitted plumbing work, and grease trap issues that affected neighboring properties.

Fire safety systems were updated in 2013 with a new panel and detectors, and multiple fire-related complaints have been documented, including a violation for hazardous materials storage in 2021. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 and early 2025 indicate ongoing issues with blocked sidewalks and other maintenance matters outside the building. While many historical violations have been abated, the recent complaints about kitchen access and dining layout suggest potential ongoing safety and compliance issues. The property also pursued (though ultimately withdrew) a proposal in 2022 to add live entertainment to the restaurant space under the North Beach NCD regulations.
