44-46 Morrell Pl, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 44-46 Morrell Place is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by the Estate of David Lee Ku. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past decade, with the most recent work completed in September 2023 involving kitchen and bathroom upgrades on the first floor, including cabinet and countertop replacements costing $50,000. Notably, there is an **active complaint** from August 2023 regarding unauthorized construction work, including wall, foundation, brick, and electrical modifications without proper permits.

This follows a history of building code compliance issues, particularly in 2017 when the property faced multiple violations related to emergency egress windows, ventilation requirements, and interior surfaces, all of which were ultimately resolved by November 2017. The building has seen consistent window improvements over the years, with successful permit completions in 2010 and 2017 for window replacements to meet safety standards and improve energy efficiency. The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, including electrical problems documented in a 2019 complaint about non-functioning outlets, which was subsequently resolved.

Recent infrastructure improvements include ventilation system upgrades in 2017 to meet building code requirements. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with recent plumbing work completed in October 2023, including kitchen and bathroom fixture replacements. While there have been several 311 calls regarding general street cleaning and maintenance issues in the vicinity of the property during 2023-2024, these are primarily related to public space rather than the building itself and have all been resolved by city services.
