120 Bernard St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 120 Bernard Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Pui Lan Mah Grantor Trust, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone some notable maintenance and compliance events over its history. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in August 2000, when the building received multiple violations related to fire safety and gas utility requirements during a routine Housing Inspection Services inspection.

These violations, which included problems with fire extinguisher maintenance, garbage receptacle placement, and gas utility shutoff requirements, were all addressed and abated by September 8, 2000. The building was reroofed in 1998, though that permit has since expired. More recent history shows intermittent maintenance and compliance issues, including a sewage backup in February 2022 that was promptly resolved by PUC Sewer Operations.

The property has experienced several exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years for issues such as graffiti removal (2018), medical waste cleanup (2017), and various instances of loose garbage or cleaning needs (2014, 2022). The most recent building-related service call was for general cleaning in January 2024, which was resolved. While the building has experienced a range of maintenance issues over the years, it's worth noting that most violations and complaints have been promptly addressed, and there have been no reported building violations since 2000.
