1317-1319 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 1317-1319 Powell Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1906 and currently managed by Lee Family Revoc Management. The building's most notable recent issue was an unpermitted construction incident in early 2019 involving work on a roof-level covered enclosure at the rear stairs, which led to a formal complaint and Notice of Violation (NOV) under San Francisco Building Code sections 103A and 102A.3.

While the NOV was issued in January 2019 and became inactive with abatement in December 2021, this incident raised concerns about natural light impacts on neighboring units. The property has experienced various maintenance and environmental issues typical of urban residential buildings, including multiple reports of sidewalk cleaning needs, graffiti incidents, and pavement defects between 2017 and 2024.

A significant planning decision was made regarding the property's basement space, where parking was eliminated to convert the area for retail use, a change that received planning approval and was processed under Planning Code Section 307(g). The building's documented history shows regular urban maintenance challenges, including waste cleanup (human/animal waste and general garbage) and graffiti removal, all of which were promptly addressed through appropriate city services.
