1309-1315 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The Owyang Family Corporation owns this 3-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located at 1309-1315 Powell Street in Nob Hill, constructed in 1916. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being the replacement of electrical panels in September 2023. The building has a mixed-use history, having converted its ground floor to commercial space in 1994 with the relocation of residential units to the second floor.

Multiple roofing projects were completed in 2016, totaling approximately $30,000 in work, and a grease trap installation was performed in 2013. The property has experienced some concerning events, particularly related to the commercial unit (formerly Mah's Dim Sum), with several complaints between 2021-2022 regarding smoke emissions affecting neighboring apartments, as well as safety concerns involving fire escape, hazardous appliances, and electrical equipment. While a fire-related maintenance issue was noted in 1986 and a fire escape complaint in 2022 was found to have "No Merit," these incidents suggest past safety concerns.

The building's accessibility compliance work is ongoing, with a permit filed in December 2022 for creating a new accessible entrance. The surrounding area has experienced periodic issues with street cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding human or animal waste and loose garbage, though these are external to the building itself. Recent street cleaning requests and sidewalk maintenance issues have been documented, with the latest activity recorded in January 2025.
