15-17 Stillman St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 15-17 Stillman Street in the Financial District South, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Lin Bi Jun, has undergone significant renovations and faced several regulatory challenges over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, there was a violation issued regarding unauthorized construction work in the basement that required the installation of approximately 60 feet of non-bearing partitions, ceiling plaster board replacements, and lightwell window modifications, though this violation was promptly abated within approximately six weeks of issuance. The building has seen substantial improvements to its units between 2019 and 2023, including major renovations to unit layouts, bathrooms, kitchens, and electrical systems.

The most recent completed work (August 2023) involved basement partition modifications and lightwell window replacements, while previous renovations included extensive unit remodels, bathroom additions, and electrical rewiring projects in 2019 and 2022, with all necessary permits and inspections completed successfully. The property has maintained regular compliance with safety requirements, though it experienced one notable housing inspection violation in 2011 that was resolved through various safety improvements, including handrail installations and other safety enhancements. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure requirements, with multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades including furnace replacements, water heater improvements, and electrical system upgrades.

While there have been several fire department responses to the building, including smoke detector activations and an extinguishing system activation, all incidents were determined to be malfunctions with no injuries reported. Recent 311 calls in the area (December 2024 - January 2025) have primarily related to external issues such as street cleaning needs, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The property has shown consistent investment in maintenance and upgrades, with all major violations being addressed promptly and properly.
