11-17 Pearl St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The four-story multi-family residential building at 11-17 Pearl Street, owned by Mohnot Sheel, was constructed in 1909 and contains 4 units plus commercial space. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most substantial work occurring between 2021-2022, including a $60,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel on the third floor, installation of new electrical systems (including a 60-amp service with multiple circuits), and associated plumbing work. Earlier improvements included a complete renovation of the first floor in 2008 and replacement of rear egress stairs in 2005.

The building has experienced multiple fire alarm incidents, mostly related to system malfunctions or false alarms, with one confirmed carbon monoxide incident in 2016. A significant concern arose in September 2016 when complaints were filed regarding an allegedly unauthorized basement short-term rental unit, though these complaints are now listed as not active. Recent history shows multiple graffiti and encampment reports near the property in late 2024, with several cases of sidewalk cleaning and maintenance required.

The building's maintenance history includes some expired permits, such as a roofing project from 2001 and various street space permits dating back to 2005. While there have been multiple fire department responses to the building, none have resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. The property has also had its share of routine maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls requesting various municipal services.
