475-479 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 475-479 Broadway is a three-story, three-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1907 in the Financial District North, currently owned by Kum Tai Chan Revocable Trust. The building has undergone substantial recent improvements, with the most recent work completed in November 2023 involving ADA compliance modifications to the bar entrance. Significant renovations have included major kitchen and laundry room remodels, window replacements, and structural repairs, including an $8,000 joist replacement in 2018.

The building has a history of maintaining its systems with multiple infrastructure upgrades, including drainage system replacements, electrical rewiring, and reroofing in 2015. The property has experienced several fire safety incidents and violations throughout its history, though none involving civilian injuries or significant damage. Recent fire safety compliance issues were noted in 2021 regarding hazardous materials storage and exterior door access, which were subsequently abated.

The property has also encountered occasional accessibility challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding blocked sidewalks by scooters, though these are not directly related to building operations. The building's commercial component, particularly the bar, has undergone various ADA compliance upgrades between 2019 and 2023, including barrier removal and automatic door opener installation. While the building has received multiple fire code violation notices over the years, inspections have generally resulted in prompt correction of identified issues, and recent records indicate improved compliance.
