1151-1153 Stockton St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 1151-1153 Stockton Street in Nob Hill is a two-story, multi-family residential building with retail space, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by the Lee Family Revocable Trust. The building has experienced several significant events, most notably a major grease fire in August 2012 that caused substantial damage to both residential and commercial spaces, resulting in multiple repair permits totaling over $88,000 to address fire-damaged kitchen equipment, ductwork, and related infrastructure.

The building underwent seismic retrofitting in 2000 as part of a $64,000 improvement. More recently, in 2024, there were two fire safety complaints related to sprinkler/standpipe systems and alarm systems, with one being resolved as "Condition Corrected" and the other deemed "No Merit." The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with fire safety systems, including violations and complaints about alarm and sprinkler systems between 2007-2017. The property has also faced plumbing and drainage challenges, notably in 2010 when there were violations regarding an improperly installed area drain and sump pump in the basement.

Recent activity at the property shows multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street in early 2025, though these are primarily exterior maintenance issues. The building's fire safety management has been consistently addressed, with automatic fire systems being installed and upgraded multiple times, including a UL 300 range guard system in 2004 and a subsequent kitchen fire suppression system in 2013. The property has maintained active response to violations and complaints, with most issues being resolved through appropriate corrective actions, though some historical violations from 2007-2008 regarding fire safety systems and building codes were recorded.
