956-958 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-unit residential building at 915 Minna St, owned by Lau Zhuo Ying, is a two-story structure built in 1913, located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant modifications and faced various compliance issues over the past three decades. Most notably, there have been recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations documented between 2021 and 2024 related to fire sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and general fire code compliance.

The building's fire safety systems have required ongoing attention, with three violations specifically noted in 2024 for standpipes and alarm systems. Historical records show the installation of a fire sprinkler system was completed in 1993, though subsequent violations suggest maintenance and compliance issues have persisted. The building has experienced various structural and safety interventions, including the replacement of egress stair post footings in 2018 and the removal of a wooden utility ladder in 2010 following a violation notice.

A vertical addition was completed in 1996, and more recent electrical work was performed in 2014 for common area improvements. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in the past year (2024), primarily regarding street cleanliness issues, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent concerns involve fire safety citations from 2023-2024, including a sleeping area requirement violation and issues with standpipe systems. While the building has maintained overall operation, the recurring nature of fire safety violations suggests ongoing challenges with compliance, and there have been occasional complaints about construction noise and work activity, as evidenced by a 2019 complaint about concrete pouring.
