617-619 Minna St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 617-619 Minna Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, owned by the Annie Choi Wong Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1906. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various regulatory challenges over its history. Most notably, in 2021, the building underwent a comprehensive $250,000 renovation of kitchens and bathrooms in all four units, which included electrical updates with the addition of new plugs, switches, and lights.

Prior to this, the building faced serious safety violations in 2011 related to exit stairs, fire safety equipment, and building permit requirements, though these violations were abated by August 2011 following necessary repairs. In the early 1990s, the property was required to remove an illegal ground floor unit, which was converted to storage space to comply with housing codes. Recent developments include attempted installation of heat pump units in 2022, though these permits expired.

The building's maintenance and safety record shows significant attention to improving resident facilities and addressing past violations, with no active violations on record since 2011. The most recent activities related to the building have been primarily focused on general maintenance and system upgrades, though there have been numerous 311 calls in early 2025 regarding encampments and street cleaning issues in the vicinity of the building, which appear unrelated to the building's internal conditions. A historical fire complaint from 2012 regarding blocked exits was closed with a "No Merit" disposition in 2015. The building has been subject to regular safety inspections over the years, with records dating back to at least 1999, all of which have been resolved.
