729-733 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 729-733 Vallejo Street in North Beach, owned by Kir Ryan Zhi-en, has a storied history dating back to its 1906 construction. The property underwent significant changes in 2021 when a proposed conversion from bar to dental office was initiated (though the permit was ultimately revoked), following a period of bar-related repairs and renovations in 2012. The building's infrastructure has been substantially improved over the years, with completed projects including 1-hour rated wall constructions in 2001, structural underpinning for a parking garage in 2000, and comprehensive plumbing upgrades in 2012.

Historical records show earlier improvements including reroofing and the installation of a fire suppression system in the mid-1990s, though these permits have since expired. More recently, the property has faced some challenges with its immediate vicinity, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls throughout 2024, particularly related to street cleaning issues and waste removal. Between January and July 2024, there were multiple reports of human or animal waste on nearby streets, though most were promptly resolved.

There was also one report of property damage involving a transit shelter platform in December 2024 that remains open. Of particular note, the building experienced multiple fire code violations in March 2020, which were subsequently abated, related to hazard identification signs and other fire safety issues. The property's planning records indicate previous attempts to modify its use and entertainment features, including a proposal to add a pool table to the existing bar and a change of use application from bar to dental office, though these projects have experienced varying degrees of success.
