1042-1048 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 1042-1048 Montgomery Street is a two-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, built in 1906 and currently owned by the Mitchell Wong Revocable Trust 2012. The building has undergone significant seismic safety improvements, completing a mandatory Tier 3 Soft Story Retrofit in 2020 at a cost of $70,000, following multiple prior permit applications and violations related to non-compliance with the San Francisco Building Code earthquake safety requirements. The most recent proposed improvement, filed in December 2022, seeks to convert an 830 sq.

ft. storage area into a 1-bedroom ADU with associated bathroom and kitchen modifications, though this permit is still in "Filed" status. The building's history includes several notable events, including a 2014 Notice of Violation related to unauthorized construction changes, including incorrect door and window installations, though these issues were resolved by November 2015 through the issuance of the appropriate permits and completion of required modifications.

In 2015, the property underwent corrections to address various safety concerns, including fire safety violations such as the need for fire extinguisher recharges and the installation of smoke detectors. More recently, there was a complaint in June 2020 regarding unannounced utility shut-offs during construction work, though this complaint is now inactive. The most recent service-related issues include a flooding incident reported in February 2024 that was promptly addressed by PUC Sewer Operations. The building has maintained regular compliance with various safety and maintenance requirements over the years, with most historical violations having been resolved through appropriate corrective actions and permits.
