20 Ross Aly, San Francisco, CA 94108

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 20 Ross Alley in the Financial District North, owned by Wong Family Benev Assn, was constructed in 1907 and consists of three stories. The property has undergone several documented improvements over the past decades, including reroofing work in 2003, ventilation system improvements in 1994, and completion of a parapet safety program in 1983, demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts.

In 2019, the building received attention from code enforcement due to non-compliance with the vacant storefront ordinance, which was resolved within approximately six weeks. Prior to that, in 2004, there was a rodent control inspection that was also promptly addressed. The building's recent history shows several public works incidents in the vicinity, particularly in 2020 when there were multiple reports of loose garbage and debris, including one incident involving medical waste (needles) that received administrative closure.

Earlier infrastructure issues were documented in 2017, including problems with pavement defects and a manhole cover, though these were street-related concerns rather than building-specific issues. Historical permits indicate various commercial modifications, including a 2004 dry cleaning service installation, though the current status of commercial operations at the property is unclear. The building's maintenance record, while showing attention to safety and infrastructure needs through permits and inspections, reveals periodic challenges with street cleanliness and abandoned storefront issues, which have been consistently addressed through proper channels.
