39-41 Bernard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 39-41 Bernard Street in Nob Hill, owned by Sandy & Johnny Leung, is a three-story structure built in 1928. The building has experienced recurring issues with its rear stairs, with documented repairs needed in 2001, 2006, and most recently in 2021, when repairs were made to address both dry rot and structural concerns. A significant cluster of violations was documented in February 2016, including issues with stairs, carbon monoxide and smoke alarms, and general structural maintenance requirements, though these violations were all officially abated by July 2016.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to roof maintenance with a permit from 2001, though this permit expired. Historical data indicates earlier routine inspections in 2001 and 2008, and various violations were addressed during these inspections, including fire safety equipment requirements and building permit compliance. More recent activity includes routine cleaning and maintenance issues in the vicinity of the building, as evidenced by 311 calls in 2016, 2017, 2018, and most recently in April 2023 for loose garbage.

The property is currently undergoing a public records request review process as indicated in planning records. While the documented violations and repair history suggest periods of maintenance attention, particularly to the rear stairs, most issues appear to have been resolved through proper procedures, with the exception of the expired roofing permit from 2001. The most recent inspection-related activity (2021) involved an arranged site inspection to review completed stair repairs, indicating ongoing attention to building maintenance requirements.
