833-841 Stockton St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 833-841 Stockton Street in Nob Hill, owned by Hop Wo, was constructed in 1914 and has undergone various modifications throughout its history. Most notably, the building has faced recurring fire safety challenges, with multiple fire code violations recorded between 2019 and 2024, including issues with extinguishers, sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, and exit obstructions. Recent fire violations were documented in December 2024 and September 2024, with additional issues noted in 2023 and 2022.

The property has also experienced compliance challenges, including an active violation from October 2011 regarding unpermitted construction in the rear of the store that generated multiple notices of violation. Historical improvements include the installation of fire sprinklers in 2012 and various attempts to comply with building codes, such as the recent awning amnesty program application filed in August 2024 and ABE compliance work in August 2023 involving ramp installation and new storefront elements. The building's maintenance history shows attention to exterior elements, with past work including reroofing (1999), sidewalk repairs (2002), and canvas awning installations (1992 and 1983).

A significant cluster of 311 calls in late 2024 related to garbage and debris indicates ongoing external maintenance challenges in the vicinity of the building. While some fire safety violations have been resolved promptly, as evidenced by the "abated" status of many violations, the pattern of recurring fire code issues suggests ongoing compliance concerns that require attention. The most recent building activities indicate efforts to improve safety features and address previous violations, though certain violations remain in the system as of the latest records.
