1626-1630 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit residential building at 1626-1630 Powell Street in North Beach, owned by Fung Yee C Lau 2018 Revocab Trust, dates back to 1911 and includes a commercial space. The property's significant structural and maintenance history includes a vertical addition completed in 1997 and various improvements in the mid-1990s, such as topping replacement, waterproofing work, handicap improvements, and bathroom construction, though some of these permits expired.

Earlier records show reroofing work was attempted in 1993, and the illegal conversion of a restaurant space was successfully resolved in 1996. Recent activity (2020-2025) has primarily involved maintenance and compliance issues rather than structural concerns.

The property has experienced regular urban challenges typical of its North Beach location, including graffiti (most recently reported in January 2025), illegal postings, and sidewalk cleaning needs. Notably, there have been two recent open cases regarding an abandoned parklet in March 2023 and multiple complaints involving the Business Sold Permit (BSP) process in December 2020, though most issues have been resolved through official channels. The building's commercial space has been involved in the Legacy Business Registry and received approval for acoustic, non-amplified music events during specified hours on weekends, indicating ongoing restaurant operations.
