812-814 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The three-story multi-family residential building at 812-814 Washington Street, constructed in 1922, contains 3 units and is currently owned by Martin & Ng Mui Fung Lee 20. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance actions over the years, with the most recent being the completion of an awning amnesty program in May 2024 to legalize an previously unpermitted awning for "lanlan market." The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, particularly in 2006-2009, with multiple violations recorded including issues with fire protection equipment maintenance, emergency lighting, standpipe and sprinkler system service, and the need for fire department permits.

A notable building incident occurred in 2001 when unauthorized modifications were made to the storefront, resulting in multiple violations and inspection hearings. The property has a documented history of maintenance and improvements including reroofing projects in 1989 and 2002, and sidewalk reconstruction work in 2001. More recently, from late 2024 to early 2025, there have been multiple instances of graffiti and street cleaning issues reported through 311 calls, though these are primarily related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself.

The building has experienced several fire alarm activations over the years, typically related to system malfunctions rather than actual fires, though there was one recorded instance of unintentional building fire with no civilian injuries. Two fire complaints were filed in 2012 and 2020 regarding electrical extension cords and exit maintenance, respectively, with the 2020 issue being corrected. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance challenges, most documented violations have been addressed and closed, with no current active violations on record as of October 2023.
