The three-story multi-family residential building at 223-225 9th Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, built in 1910, is currently owned by Wang Xiaoning & Guo Yu and contains 6 units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably an active complaint from May 2023 regarding multiple life safety concerns including unapproved plumbing and electrical work, improper occupancy, lack of permanent heating in an unauthorized unit, and inadequate egress.

A 2023 complaint also documented various maintenance problems including non-functional ventilation and drainage issues, while ongoing electrical problems in 2023 affected multiple ground floor outlets. The building suffered a fire in 2022 requiring $40,000 in repairs to two apartment units, and historical records from 2000 show numerous safety violations including issues with stairs, handrails, walls, and smoke detectors, though these were abated by 2016. The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement work over the years, including significant electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2013 and 2022, bathroom renovations, and compliance work following violations.

The ground floor space, which was previously used as a medical cannabis dispensary, has been the subject of multiple complaints regarding unauthorized use and occupancy. Recent plumbing and electrical issues have persisted despite previous repairs, and there have been recurring problems with garbage and debris management around the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024. The building's history includes several false fire alarms and temporary safety concerns, though no civilian injuries have been reported in any incidents.
