2041 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 2041 Market Street property is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by the Low-hong Family Trust and containing three residential units. The building has undergone various modifications and maintenance work over the years, including a gas water heater replacement in 2020 and several retail space improvements in the late 1990s to early 2000s, such as coffee shop conversions and patio usage modifications. More recent developments show repeated concerns with building maintenance and safety systems, particularly regarding fire safety equipment.

There have been multiple fire complaints since 2018, including issues with alarm systems and sprinkler systems, though most were marked as "Condition Corrected" upon inspection. A notable incident occurred in July 2024 involving complaints of an overcrowded place of assembly, which remains unresolved. The property has experienced recurring external maintenance challenges in recent months, with multiple 311 calls reporting graffiti and garbage issues between December 2024 and January 2025, including three instances of human waste or urine near the building.

These cases, while not directly affecting the building's interior conditions, suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining the property's immediate surroundings. Previous building modifications include a cancelled permit for rear yard rehabilitation and a now-expired sidewalk repair permit from 2000, along with historical attempts to expand retail space and patio usage in the late 1990s. The building's fire safety history shows a pattern of system-related issues, with violations recorded for alarm system maintenance in 2018 and 2019 at the nearby 2027-2029 Market Street addresses, though these were eventually abated.
