1217-1221 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1217-1221 Fell Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Sun-nopa LLC, was constructed in 1900 and features three stories with retail space. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, particularly in 2019, when major renovations were completed to install new equipment, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and a water heater, costing $45,000. This renovation was followed by specific commercial plumbing and electrical work related to a bakery installation, indicating a commercial use of the ground floor space.

The building experienced notable maintenance issues in its history, including a water heater leak and roof ventilation problems in 1996, and more concerning complaints in 1995 regarding possible illegal unit issues, barricaded fire exits, and utility shut-offs, though some of these concerns are no longer active. Recent activity at the property has been marked by multiple 311 calls from late 2024 to early 2025, primarily concerning graffiti (both public and private), excessive noise, and garbage issues. There have been three fire alarm system complaints between 2020 and 2023, with the most recent one in late 2022, indicating some ongoing fire safety monitoring needs.

The building's commercial space underwent specific regulatory scrutiny, with approvals granted for new signs and retail use under the Divisadero Street NCD guidelines, particularly for the sale of pre-made and pre-packaged materials, with restrictions against baking or providing customer seating. In terms of infrastructure maintenance, historical records show a reroofing project from 1998 and various plumbing improvements, including a house trap replacement in 2013, demonstrating ongoing maintenance attention. The property has also faced some regulatory challenges, including a 2006 violation for operating without a fire department permit, though this was subsequently abated.
