1122 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 8-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1122 Powell Street in Nob Hill, owned by Tom Li Fang, was constructed in 1916 and has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over its history. Most recently, in 2019, the building underwent reroofing work costing $2,000, and there have been several street space permits issued, including one in 2019 and another in 2009.

A notable series of violations was recorded in May 2005, when the building was cited for multiple fire safety and maintenance issues, including problems with the central alarm system, fire escape ladder, heat detector, and various electrical violations; these were all abated by July 2005. The building has undergone several routine inspections over the years, with more recent issues emerging in late 2018 involving complaints about a non-working kitchen hood, mold, smoke alarm concerns, and appliance problems. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including a serious complaint in 1999 regarding mildew, rodent infestation, pest problems, peeling paint, and plumbing issues affecting multiple units.

The building underwent various renovation attempts in the 1980s, including a significant $12,000 code compliance project in 1987, though this permit is now expired. The most recent inspection or violation activity appears to be from 2020, regarding a vacant storefront registration issue, which remains active. Recent external issues documented through 311 calls have primarily involved street-level concerns such as damaged parking meters, sidewalk defects, and illegal postings, rather than internal building issues.
