1059-1079 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 17-unit multi-family residential building at 1059-1079 Powell Street in Nob Hill, owned by Jung Revocable Trust The, has been in operation since 1916. The three-story apartment building has undergone various improvements and faced several challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2023, there was an active complaint regarding vacant commercial spaces at 1077 and 1099 Powell Street, and a common areas complaint filed in April 2024.

Several notable building improvements include plumbing upgrades with a kitchen sink drain replacement in 2018 and a water heater replacement in 2012, electrical work in 2004 involving new lights and switches, and various remodeling projects between 1986-2004 including restaurant remodeling and non-bearing wall construction. A significant safety concern was addressed in 2002 when a complaint about rusty fire escape cables and ladders was filed and subsequently abated. The property has had multiple commercial tenant improvements over the years, including the addition of a sushi bar in 2004 (completed) and various canopy and awning projects in 1988-1990, though some of these permits were cancelled. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned parking issues near the property, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking between 2017-2024.

A routine inspection in 2002 identified fire safety concerns that were promptly addressed. The building's commercial spaces have maintained active ABC licenses for restaurant use, with approvals for Type 41 licenses confirming the continuation of existing uses. While there have been periodic complaints and service requests, many have been resolved through appropriate channels, including issues related to environmental health, parking, and rent adjustments. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both residential and commercial portions, though some recent complaints suggest ongoing monitoring may be beneficial.
