1035-1039 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 1035-1039 Montgomery Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Tom Gim Sin Survivors Trust, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone various maintenance and improvement works over the years. Most notably, the building experienced significant structural challenges in 2007 when a rockslide affected the rear of the building, resulting in multiple violations related to building safety and hillside stability that were only resolved by December 2008 following necessary remediation work.

The building has been maintained with several major works including reroofing projects in 1990 and 2013, window installations in 1991, and a rear deck and stair construction in 1987. In recent years, the property has faced various challenges including a 2019-2021 incident involving unauthorized recycling operations that reportedly generated significant noise disturbances, and multiple fire safety inspections between 2014-2023 addressing issues with alarm systems, sprinklers, extinguishers, and blocked exits, though most were resolved promptly as "Condition Corrected" or determined to have "No Merit." The building's maintenance record shows attention to regular upkeep, with recent 311 calls primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance.

While the property has had its share of fire safety concerns over the years, most incidents were either false alarms or related to non-fire situations such as electrical issues or water problems, with no reported civilian injuries from these events. The building's management has addressed most violations and complaints in a timely manner, with no active violations currently on record, though the age of the building and history of hillside-related issues may warrant ongoing attention to structural integrity.
