57 Leland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 57 Leland Avenue in Visitacion Valley is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900. The building, owned by Jerry Jew and Myra Ho Ho Wing Ye, has experienced several significant issues over the years, most notably a major violation case in late 2017 when an illegally converted unit was discovered in the ground floor commercial space. This unauthorized conversion resulted in multiple code violations, including improper egress, lack of fire walls, and unauthorized wiring and plumbing.

The violations were ultimately addressed through permits in 2018 to remove the unauthorized fixtures and restore the building to its original configuration. The building has undergone various maintenance work over the years, including stairway repairs in 2007, gas line replacements in 2013, and furnace replacement. Recent activity at the property raises some concerns about ongoing compliance with building codes.

In 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding construction work without proper permits, illegal structures, and potentially dangerous construction practices. The building has also had recurring issues with garbage and debris in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024. Fire safety has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints in 2007 regarding blocked exits, alarm systems, combustible materials, and general unsafe conditions, though these were all marked as corrected. The property's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring will be necessary, with particular attention to any unauthorized modifications to the building's original configuration.
