702-706 14th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-unit residential building at 702-706 14th Street in the Duboce Triangle, owned by Jaber Jimmie S & Rose Trust, has a century-long history dating back to its 1906 construction as a flat & store building. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a $14,000 reroofing project in 2018, substantial renovations in 2012 involving staircase replacement, window updates, and waterproofing work valued at $30,000, and past fire damage repairs in 1991 that addressed roof sheeting and walls. The building has experienced recurrent safety and maintenance issues, with multiple fire complaints between 2009 and 2017 regarding unauthorized assembly uses, overcrowding, and various violations, though most recent fire-related incidents (detector activation, gas leak, and alarm malfunction) showed no civilian injuries.

In recent months (January 2025), there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, including instances of graffiti and abandoned furniture, though some cases were marked as "Unable to Locate" or resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular improvements and repairs, including plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2012, though a concerning complaint was filed in 2018 regarding sagging framing during top-level construction (status not marked as abated). There was a notable violation in 2017 regarding a broken storefront window that was eventually resolved.

The property holds an active ABC Type 21 license, indicating it has maintained continuous operation since at least 1994. While the building has required various permits for maintenance and improvements over the years, including a street space permit in 2004, the history of fire complaints and violations suggests an ongoing need for diligence regarding occupancy and safety standards, particularly concerning assembly use compliance. The recent spate of 311 calls in early 2025 primarily relates to street-level maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, though they do indicate some challenges with debris management in the immediate vicinity.
