508-510 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 508-510 Brannan Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, built in 1909 and currently owned by the Qaqundah Family Living Trust. The building has undergone several improvements over the years, with significant renovations occurring between 1998-2004, including window and door replacement, facade repairs, and ADA-compliant restroom installations.

More concerning are the recent fire safety issues, with multiple violations documented between 2019 and 2024, including sprinkler system problems, fire extinguisher maintenance issues, and other code compliance matters. The building has experienced persistent alarm system malfunctions and CO detector activations, though these incidents have not resulted in any civilian injuries. The property is currently facing several maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding graffiti, debris, and a potentially hazardous tree.

There are also multiple open and recently resolved fire code violations, particularly regarding standpipe maintenance, fire extinguishers, and sprinkler systems. While the building has a history of tenant improvements and proper maintenance had been observed in earlier years, the recent pattern of fire safety violations and building maintenance issues suggests an emerging trend that requires attention. The commercial space has maintained its bar/club use since 2017, though it has experienced various occupancy regulation-related compliance issues.
