1221-1225 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103
The three-story mixed-use building at 1221-1225 Folsom Street, constructed in 1909, contains three residential units above ground-floor commercial space and is currently owned by Trust A. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various regulatory challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2013, substantial exterior work was performed including replacement of wood siding and stair repairs at a cost of $11,600.
The building has experienced multiple permitted renovations, particularly to its bar and commercial spaces, including electrical upgrades, bathroom remodels, and sprinkler system improvements between 2004-2013. Several code compliance issues have emerged, including electrical violations in 2011 and unauthorized interior construction in 2011 and 2013, though these were subsequently addressed. The building's recent history (2022-2024) shows recurring maintenance needs, with multiple reports of graffiti (most recently in January 2025) and garbage issues on the property/sidewalk areas.
While there have been some complaints regarding construction noise and unauthorized construction work in 2022 and 2013, the immediate living conditions appear stable based on available data. The property has experienced several fire alarm incidents over the years, though investigations revealed no significant threats or injuries. Historical planning records indicate the establishment of a Place of Entertainment permit for a bar ("Driftwood") on site, allowing nighttime entertainment in accordance with local zoning regulations.
