The scope of work includes the conversion of a residential hotel, Mosser Hotel, with 72 rooms into a tourist hotel. The units will be relocated to 509 Minna Street. All 72 residential rooms proposed for relocation are currently vacant and no changes to the building exterior are proposed. Upon completion, the property will consist of 159 hotel rooms and 9 residential rooms.
The building will yield a total built-up area spanning 16,971 square feet. Additionally, the third and fourth floors of the hotel will feature a new bathroom for every room and one ADA bathroom per floor.

Interesting. Is it currently housing for the homeless? I’m seeing it has a website, but the phrase “residential hotel” suggests that people live there longer-term.
Articles states that all 72 residential rooms are empty and will be transferred to another site. I’m guessing that the owners may have emptied the building during COVID or more recently. Doesn’t appear that the building is part of any program to house homeless individuals.
No. A 2017 Hoodline article confirms the plan. Not anything related to COVID.
I moved to SF 50+ years ago my first residence was the Ansonia residence club (711 Post St.) I have nothing but fund memories of the place my room consisted of a bed with a sink in it the toilets were located in the hall. The facility surved breakfest and dinner in order to save some money I worked in the dinning room.The place was clean and safe it allowed me enough time to get on my feet.SF had a number of single occupance room hotel , this is what we need now not a hotel? There are a lot of good, some a little lost young people as I that can use a safe place like this to live in, with one exception the place should not be a dumping ground for drug addicts and violate young people.
This doesn’t make sense to me. It’s currently a functioning tourist hotel. Rooms are on the small and cheap side, certainly. But you can rent rooms right now. So they’re going to add 80 rooms? I don’t quite get it. Maybe part of the building is residential, part is hotel, and they’re going to renovate the whole thing and turn the currently residential space into updated tourist hotel rooms?
