1024-1034 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94108

1024-1034 Powell Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Laurie Leong Tr. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements over the years, with the most recent being a $18,000 fire alarm system upgrade in December 2023 to comply with current fire code requirements. Previous major works include a complete reroofing in 2011 and a seismic retrofit in 1997 that included wall tie installations and diaphragm shear enhancements, indicating attention to structural integrity and safety.

The building had a documented set of safety violations in May 2005, which were resolved by June 2005, including issues with fire escape drop ladders, fire extinguisher maintenance, central alarm panel certification requirements, and exterior door security devices. Since that time, there have been no recorded building violations or complaints regarding safety systems. The property has had routine housing inspections in 1999, 2005, and 2011, all marked as Not Active.

Recent external issues primarily involve parking enforcement matters, with multiple citations issued for blocking the driveway between 2019-2024, and some graffiti incidents in 2021. A rent board request was recorded in December 2024, though it was resolved. The property's documented history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, particularly in terms of fire safety and structural integrity, while the majority of recent issues have been related to external factors like parking and street conditions rather than building-specific concerns.
