901-907 Stockton St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 8-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 901-907 Stockton Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Jair 1988 Family Trust, was constructed in 1907 and has a documented history of both maintenance and safety concerns. Most recently, in 2023, there have been two significant issues: a no-heat complaint in November and a concerning report about the Helen Beauty Salon's wheelchair accessibility in August. A particularly serious structural concern was documented in 2019 regarding a bulging wall on the Clay Street facade, which had previously prompted permit work for stucco repair.

The building has undergone several major safety improvements over the years, including a seismic upgrade in 2002 (cost: $54,000), parapet reinforcing in 1989, and multiple fire safety system improvements. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple fire code violations recorded between 2012-2017, including blocked exits, alarm system problems, and fire extinguisher maintenance issues. A significant set of violations was documented in November 2011, encompassing problems with the alarm system, fire escape ladder, egress obstruction, and security devices, though these were all abated by September 2011.

More recent complaints include unauthorized electrical work and unauthorized remodeling in 2013, and water leakage issues in 2002-2004. The building has maintained an active commercial space (originally housing a beauty salon, now reportedly a grocery store), and planning records indicate various permitted uses have been approved over the years. While there have been multiple false alarm incidents recorded by the fire department, none have resulted in civilian injuries.
