54 John St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 54 John St in Nob Hill, owned by the Lee Family Trust, was constructed in 1911 and contains 4 units.

The most pressing recent issues occurred in December 2022, when complaints were filed regarding non-functioning heaters in some units, and safety concerns about electrical outlets near sinks, high cabinets, and a potentially unsafe porch staircase. These problems followed a pattern of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple building violations recorded in July 2007, which included issues with fire extinguisher provision, damaged fence/guardrail repairs, and water heater elevation requirements - all of which were addressed by October 22, 2007, when a reroofing project costing $9,700 was also permitted.

The building has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years (2015, 1999), though the persistent nature of the 2022 complaints raises concerns about ongoing maintenance. In addition to building-specific issues, the property has been the subject of various municipal service calls between 2014-2024, including reports of graffiti, sewage backup, and parking violations, though these external issues do not directly affect building habitability.
