701-703 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 701-703 Cole Street is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by In Ju & Jung Im Kim Revocable Trust. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a January 2023 complaint about melting wiring insulation and limited electrical capacity, followed by a September 2022 report of recurring ceiling leaks and previous collapses in one unit.

Historical building violations from 2002-2006 focused on safety issues, including egress obstructions, smoke detector requirements, and security concerns, though these were all abated by November 2006. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, including reroofing in 2007 ($4,000), sewer replacement in 2008, and the installation of a mop sink and service station sink in 2014, along with some commercial modifications in the early 1990s. Recent 311 calls from late 2024/early 2025 show ongoing concerns with sanitation around the property, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, though these were generally resolved promptly.

The building's fire safety history shows two minor incidents - a malfunctioning smoke detector and a false alarm - with no civilian injuries reported. The property has undergone routine apartment inspections in 2002, 2003, and 2006, and there have been some commercial space-related issues, including a 2014 lead paint complaint and a 2015 construction debris incident. While many historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the recent electrical and water issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
