The 12-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 866-872 Sutter Street, owned by Sutter Street Trust, has a complex history dating back to its 1911 construction.

A series of construction modifications and compliance issues occurred between 2010-2014, primarily concerning the separation of commercial and residential spaces, including the removal of an illegal stairway and the creation of ADA-compliant features, which resulted in several Notices of Violation and permit applications. The building's maintenance history shows varied attention to infrastructure, with recent plumbing work in 2017 including shower installations, though more recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Fire safety system maintenance has been inconsistent, with multiple violations for extinguishers and sprinkler systems.

The property has experienced recurring issues with unauthorized modifications and work without proper permits, as evidenced by several building permits and complaints over the years. The most recent inspections and complaints indicate ongoing concerns with basic living conditions, including a 2024 complaint about common area maintenance. The building's location has also been subject to recurring parking enforcement issues, as evidenced by multiple MTA citations in 2024.
