873-877 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 873-877 Sutter St is a 3-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by the Willie & Julie Jue Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements over its lifetime, including parapet reinforcement and fire escape installation in the 1980s, a $19,600 reroofing project in 2018, and an uncompleted $180,000 disabled access and seismic work project initiated in 2003.

The property has an active building violation from 2013 concerning the expired Unreinforced Masonry Building work permit, which has been outstanding for over ten years. A 2016 routine safety inspection revealed multiple fire safety issues, including problems with fire extinguishers, emergency exit lights, and an unauthorized roof access ladder, though these were subsequently marked as not active. Recent activity at the building includes an open vacancy violation issued in August 2024, which was abated by September 2024.

The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking and driveway blocking in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between November 2024 and January 2025, though most of these cases could not be validated by responding officers. There have also been some municipal service calls regarding a missing side sewer vent cover (December 2024) and one instance of garbage and debris concern (December 2024). In recent years, the building has had some commercial activity, including a massage therapy business (Buddha Bliss Therapeutic Massage) that was approved in 2021, and there was a previous case of illegal short-term rentals in 2020 that was resolved with penalties and compliance.
