49-53 John St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 49-53 John Street in Nob Hill, owned by Chen Yu Hua, was constructed in 1914 and contains 4 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a top floor kitchen and bathroom remodel with window replacements in 2001 (completed at a cost of $17,000) and an underground service conversion completed in 2002.

The building has been subject to three routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent occurring in 2015. In 2005, multiple safety violations were identified during a routine inspection, including issues with egress obstructions, handrails, security requirements, fire safety equipment, and rear stairs, though these violations were all abated by August 12, 2005. Similar violations related to fire safety and egress obstructions were previously noted in 2000 and resolved by September 6, 2000.

A single 311 call was recorded in 2009 regarding a leaning no-parking sign that was subsequently repaired. Most recently, in 2017, there was a tenant buyout at the property involving three tenants and a payout of $20,000 for the unit at 51 John Street. While the building has experienced various safety-related issues in the past, records indicate that these violations were addressed promptly, and there have been no documented violations or complaints in the past eight years.
