1621-1623 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 1621-1623 Powell Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. Built in 1907 and currently owned by the Leeann Barone Revocable Trust, the building has undergone several significant renovations and faced some serious incidents over the past decade.

Most notably, in 2016, the building experienced fire damage that required substantial repairs estimated at $75,000, affecting two kitchens, three bathrooms, and requiring the replacement of approximately 2,000 square feet of smoke-damaged sheetrock. This damage was followed by comprehensive electrical repairs and plumbing updates to restore both units, including fixture replacements and fire-damaged plumbing line repairs.

Prior to the fire incident, the building underwent major renovations in 2013-2014, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, structural upgrades, window replacements, and the controversial addition of a roof deck, which drew some complaints about unpermitted construction. The property has also faced multiple parking-related incidents, with numerous 311 calls regarding blocked driveways between July and December 2024, resulting in several citations, though many complaints were deemed invalid due to incomplete reporting information. Despite these challenges, the building has received necessary permits and completed required inspections for all major work, with records showing proper attention to safety and code compliance through subsequent repairs and upgrades.
