1070-1072 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The mixed-use property at 1070-1072 Folsom Street, owned by Nancy Hua, is a three-unit, 1916 building located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. The building has undergone significant structural work in recent years, including multiple foundation repairs (2015-2016), seismic strengthening with accessibility improvements (2016), and various electrical system modifications. In 2016, numerous fire safety concerns were documented, including blocked exits, combustible materials, and issues with alarm systems, though these were generally corrected promptly.

A notable period of concern occurred in 2016 when there were allegations of unpermitted work and fire hazard conditions, including missing fire-resistant sheetrock, which was eventually resolved by March 2019. The building previously faced multiple electrical and plumbing compliance issues in 2007, all of which were abated by June 2007. Recent history from late 2024 to early 2025 shows ongoing issues with garbage and debris on the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls, though these appear to be related to exterior maintenance rather than building systems.

The property's permit history reveals a mix of completed and cancelled projects, with significant work focused on foundation stability, seismic compliance, and electrical systems. Between 2013 and 2016, there were multiple attempts to undertake tenant improvements and office modifications, some of which were cancelled or required revisions. The building's electrical systems have undergone various upgrades, including the installation of a new 100-amp subpanel in 2007 and more recent electrical work in 2016, though one electrical permit from 2016 was cancelled. The property's foundation and seismic work, costing over $150,000 in total, indicates substantial investment in structural improvements, though the building's age and history of various code compliance issues suggest ongoing maintenance requirements.
