Seven of the 140 filings on this parcel are shown — the largest by stated cost, plus the earliest that carries a description. The rest are fire-alarm and sprinkler permits, sign and street-space permits, fee revisions to the permits above, and the filings DBI holds under the parcel's Cyril Magnin Street numbers. The earliest filing on file, from February 1983, has no description recorded. 1 expired permit is not shown. Business addresses are usually deferred on this site; this page exists because the prompting source locates its subject on this parcel. The parcel is a corner one and the datasets disagree about which frontage names it: the assessor's property_location says 140 Ellis Street, SF Parcels and SF Planning both say 138 Cyril Magnin Street, and EAS carries 124 Ellis, 140 Ellis and 138 Cyril Magnin. The page follows the assessor and the street the prompting source names; DBI files permits under 124 and 140 Ellis and 120, 138 and 150 Cyril Magnin.
