Brothel sued by San Francisco evicted from building on edge of Chinatown
A brothel on the edge of Chinatown that was recently sued by the City Attorney’s Office in an attempt to finally close the long-standing illegal business has been evicted from its Kearny Street location.
The landlord, who rented out the second story of the building to Queens Health Center owner Jie Qin Zhou, who is also being sued by The City, showed attorneys representing the City Attorney’s Office the empty space March 8.
While the lawsuit is ongoing, the section asking a judge for an injunction to force the closure of the operation has been dropped due to the eviction, said City Attorney’s Office spokesperson Andrea Guzman.
“Our main goal in this case was to shut down an illegal business that had been exploiting women and violating the law for years,” City Attorney Dennis Herrera said in a statement. “We were able to successfully do that in short order. This in an operation that flagrantly defied the law, and we’re pleased we were able to shut their doors.”
