420-422 Judah St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 420-422 Judah Street, owned by Toy Alice Trustee, is a 2-story structure built in 1962 that includes both residential units and retail space. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, including a fire suppression system upgrade to UL 300 standards in 2011 ($3,000), a new 75-gallon gas water heater installation in 2014, and accessible entrance improvements in 2022. The building has experienced some fire safety-related incidents, including three system malfunctions, one CO detector activation, and a cooking fire incident, though none resulted in civilian injuries.

Fire code violations related to sprinkler service and kitchen hood cleaning were issued in June 2019 and have since been abated. Recent concerns primarily involve external maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding graffiti, sidewalk defects, and debris cleanup. The most pressing current issue is a collapsed sidewalk reported in September 2024 and two open graffiti cases from December 2024.

Historical issues include a 2012 electrical violation concerning unapproved cord wiring in the retail space, which was promptly addressed, and a 1994 complaint about inadequate garbage receptacles. The property has maintained active compliance with health and restaurant regulations, with the Alice Chinese Bistro receiving multiple approvals. Infrastructure improvements have included reroofing in 2007 ($7,000), deck repairs in 2007 ($2,000), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades, demonstrating regular maintenance of building systems.
