1719-1721 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 1719-1721 Folsom Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1916, currently owned by Gordon Fung and Winnie Chin. The building has experienced several significant events throughout its history, most notably a fire in 1992 that required substantial repairs costing $110,000 to the roof, framing, kitchen, bathrooms, and siding. Prior to this incident, in 1990, there were termite and dry rot repairs completed, along with structural work including foundation bolts and post replacements at the rear of the building.

The most recent major structural work was undertaken in 2012, when a new retaining wall and fence were installed at the rear of the property. The building underwent a routine safety inspection in January 2008, which identified several fire safety issues including the need for fire extinguishers and repairs to fire proofing at the garage ceiling. These violations were resolved by May 2008.

Since then, there have been no recorded building violations or safety inspections. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025 related to graffiti, encampments, and street maintenance concerns in the vicinity of the building. The building has experienced three fire incidents in its history, though none resulted in civilian injuries; these incidents were categorized as an electrical wiring problem, an outside rubbish fire, and a false alarm, respectively. While the recent 311 calls indicate ongoing maintenance and safety concerns in the surrounding area, there have been no recent building-specific issues reported through official channels.
