71-73 Bernard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit residential building at 71-73 Bernard Street in Nob Hill, owned by Cheung Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1933. The property has experienced several significant events, most notably a vehicular accident in March 2019 when a car collided with the front of the building, causing damage to the west side front wall approximately 6 feet wide by 10 feet tall, with both stucco façade and structural components affected. This incident required repair work that was completed by August 2019, with associated costs of $9,500.

The building underwent exterior improvements in 2017 with the installation of vinyl siding on the back of the house, costing $16,567. More recently, essential infrastructure work was completed in May 2024 with the replacement of the house trap and approximately 20 feet of sewer line. The property has experienced various maintenance and infrastructure issues over the years, including a sewage backup incident in February 2021 and three consecutive months of sidewalk cleaning necessitated by waste removal from September to November 2019.

The building has undergone several other improvements, including aluminum window installation in 1985 (permit expired) and multiple street cleaning requests in early 2020. Two fire incidents have been recorded: one involving building fire with unintentional ignition (date unspecified) and another detector activation with no fire (also unspecified), neither resulting in civilian injuries. Recently, in late 2023 and early 2025, there have been administrative matters related to rent board services and encampment removal, respectively, though these do not directly pertain to the building's condition or safety.
