31 Bannan Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 31 Bannan Place in Telegraph Hill, owned by Thomas Gee and Sally Lee Yuen, has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns dating back to 2000. Most significantly, between 2004-2006, the building faced multiple violations regarding lead paint hazards, security concerns related to hollow core doors, plumbing issues, mold and mildew problems, smoke detector repairs, and stairway safety concerns, all of which were ultimately addressed through various building permits.

The building underwent stairway repairs in 2004 and 2006, and a separate permit from 1985 indicated efforts to bring the building into code compliance. More recent records show ongoing maintenance activity, including street space permits in 2017, though no major building violations have been recorded in recent years.

The property has experienced recurring issues with common area maintenance and basic services, as evidenced by several housing inspection cases from 2000 to 2006, including reports of mildew in bathroom areas and a period of no hot water in 2004. While there have been no building violations since 2006, the surrounding area has experienced various maintenance challenges as documented in 311 calls between 2019 and 2024, including reports of debris, human waste, and one sewage backup incident in March 2021. The most recent calls from 2023-2024 primarily involve street cleaning and waste management issues that appear to be external to the building itself rather than structural or safety concerns.
