1220-1224 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1220-1224 Powell Street in Nob Hill, owned by 1249 Stockton LLC, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in 2023-2024, the building received important safety upgrades including the legalization of an awning under an amnesty program, and a comprehensive replacement of its fire alarm system including new detectors, bells, and monitoring equipment, with work completed under multiple permits totaling $10,001.

The building has transitioned to modern amenities, including the removal of a commercial water heater system in 2018-2019, with individual tankless water heaters now installed for each unit, and the decommissioning of the old boiler system. The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, particularly during 2018-2019, when multiple violations were recorded related to vacant storefronts, electrical permits, interior paint conditions, and common area maintenance.

Notable historical issues included recurring hot water problems in 2013-2014 affecting all units, and pest control concerns in 2014. The building underwent several structural improvements, including concrete wall repairs to the lightwell in 2013, and various electrical and plumbing upgrades to maintain compliance with city codes. Regular maintenance continues to be performed as evidenced by ongoing work including graffiti removal and street cleaning, with the most recent activity recorded in late 2023.
