851-857 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 851-857 Union Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Quon Jane K Revocable Trust, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1908. The property underwent several significant compliance issues in December 2005, when multiple violations were identified regarding fire safety and building maintenance, including problems with smoke detectors, missing fire extinguishers, and the state of wood stairs. These violations were all addressed and abated by February 2006, along with multiple routine housing inspections conducted in 2000, 2002, and 2005.

The building has had two recorded permit actions: one in 1985 related to bringing the building into full compliance, and another in 1987 for the installation of new kitchen cabinets, both of which were completed. More recent history shows minimal internal building-specific issues, though there was a complaint about compression noise from a neighboring building in 2016. External maintenance matters have been documented through 311 calls, with the most recent being a garbage and debris complaint in July 2024.

Other external issues have included missed trash collection (2021), general cleaning needs (2020), a missing side sewer vent cover (2020), and temporary moving-related sign requests (2017 and 2013). These external matters generally reflect routine urban maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns. The building's most recent documented issues have been primarily related to street-level maintenance and municipal services rather than internal building conditions or resident safety.
