1040-1042 Florida St, San Francisco, CA 94110

This two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 1040-1042 Florida Street in the Inner Mission was built in 1900 and is currently owned by Charlie Kwok. The property has undergone significant recent activity, most notably with a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) project at 1040a Florida Street, with permits issued in 2022 and additional plumbing and electrical permits issued in August 2024 showing ongoing work for a full bath, kitchen, and laundry room installation.

The ADU construction has been the subject of multiple building complaints and violations in 2021, with concerns about unpermitted work including electrical, plumbing, and construction activities, though recent permits suggest efforts to bring the structure into compliance. The building has a history of addressing crucial infrastructure needs, with a 2021 kitchen and bathroom remodel and extensive safety improvements following a significant fire incident in 2011 that required exterior siding, interior sheetrock, and electrical system repairs. Historical records show various maintenance work including stair replacements (2007) and earlier repairs dating back to the 1980s.

The property has experienced some recurring neighborhood issues typical of the area, including sidewalk blockage, garbage concerns, and tree maintenance needs, with the most recent service requests occurring in 2024. Two active building violations from 2021 remain on record, including one related to a fire damage repair compliance issue from 2011, with a director hearing scheduled for December 2023. The property has also undergone notable improvements to its electrical systems, including service upgrades and rewiring projects in 2011 and 2022, while maintaining compliance with various building codes and regulations throughout its ongoing modifications.
