86-94 John St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 86-94 John Street in Nob Hill, owned by Cameron P Hempstead Lvg Tr, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. Major work completed in 2010-2011 included comprehensive plumbing and electrical system upgrades for all units, including new tubs, toilets, sinks, and kitchen appliances, as well as electrical panel installations and wiring improvements.

The building has experienced some concerning issues in its history, particularly a significant cluster of violations in 2004 related to fire safety, lead paint hazards, and security requirements, though all these violations were abated by May 2006. Recent building history shows relatively few major issues, with the most recent significant permit activity being a filed application in 2022 for intermediate length occupancy use modification. There have been three documented fire incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and all were either contained, false alarms, or due to malfunctioning equipment.

The building underwent regular housing inspections in 2016 and 2011, with no major violations recorded in recent years. The property's recent 311 calls (2023-2024) have primarily involved street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues, which are more related to the surrounding area than the building itself. A notable concern from 2023 was the discovery of illegal short-term rentals associated with the property, though this violation has been closed and abated.
