1381-1385 Minna St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-unit building at 1381-1385 Minna Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Willie W K Wong, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various compliance issues over its history. Most notably, in 2021, the building underwent extensive kitchen and bathroom renovations across all three units, which initially occurred without proper permits and resulted in a complaint (202175323) filed in April 2021.

This violation was subsequently resolved by August 2021 through proper permitting and completion of work valued at $80,000, which included kitchen cabinet replacements, exhaust fans, and bathroom fixtures. The building has a documented history of safety-related concerns, particularly during a 2003 routine inspection that revealed multiple violations including fire safety issues, handrail requirements, and security concerns, all of which were abated by December 2003. Earlier records from 1985 show various repairs were needed in the kitchen, bathroom, and dining room areas, and there were multiple instances of complaints about building conditions.

The property has undergone regular maintenance and upgrades, including the installation of handrails at the front entrance stairs in 2003 and comprehensive kitchen and bath remodeling in 2021. More recently, the area around the property has experienced numerous maintenance calls in 2024, primarily related to garbage and debris issues on public streets, though these are external to the building itself. The building has two known fire safety inspections on record, one from 2008 which noted fire extinguisher requirements and wood stairs repairs, and an unrelated case from 2017 which was found to have no merit.
