615-617 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The Tsung Tsin Association owns this three-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space located at 615-617 Jackson Street, built in 1907 in San Francisco's Financial District North. The property has undergone several significant improvements, particularly in 2013-2014 when the ground-floor restaurant was extensively remodeled, including the installation of new bar facilities, accessible restrooms, lighting, and HVAC systems. The building has a notable history of fire safety violations, particularly from 2002-2015, including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance, fire escape ladders, and lack of smoke detector installations, though all these violations have been marked as abated.

There were also some concerning tenant safety issues in 2001-2002 related to kitchen facilities, with multiple complaints about removed cooking facilities and related fire safety concerns. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance with safety regulations, including the replacement of fire sprinkler heads and other fire safety improvements in 2014. The most recent building permits from 2018 show interior updates including kitchen floor tile replacement.

There is currently an open noise complaint from October 2024 and multiple recent reports of garbage and debris issues on the property, though these are related to exterior maintenance rather than building safety. The property underwent routine safety inspections in 2015, and a 2016 fire complaint regarding hazardous materials was found to have no merit. Recent planning records indicate no violations regarding alleged unauthorized use changes from restaurant to office space. The building's history includes regular inspections for compliance with housing codes, indicating oversight by housing authorities, though some past violations suggest there were periods requiring attention to building maintenance and safety systems.
