725-731 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 725-731 Union Street in North Beach, owned by James Gee, has a documented history dating back to its 1914 construction. The building underwent several improvements in the early 1990s, including multiple kitchen renovations, though one permit from 1992 expired. More recently, in 2013, significant maintenance work was completed with the replacement of rotten pipework in two light wells serving all six units, along with minor street space modifications.

The building has experienced three routine safety inspections (1999, 2005, and 2015) that revealed safety concerns requiring attention, particularly regarding stairs and handrail requirements, though all violations were eventually abated. The most recent fire-related incidents occurred in August 2019, involving hazardous materials and a smoke detector activation, both of which were promptly corrected. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep over the years, including a complete reroofing project in 1995.

The sidewalk and street area around the building has seen intermittent issues requiring municipal attention, including reports of human/animal waste, loose garbage, and graffiti between 2008 and 2022, with all cases marked as resolved. A series of abandoned vehicle complaints near the property was recorded between 2008-2019, though typically these vehicles were gone upon inspectors' arrival. While the building has had multiple permit applications and inspections over the years, most recent records indicate no active violations or persistent maintenance issues, with routine inspections and repairs being addressed in a timely manner.
