2038-2040 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 2038-2040 Powell Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in North Beach, constructed in 1956 and currently owned by Harvey V. Chin.

The most significant recent development is an extensive renovation project approved in October 2024, valued at $215,000, which will update two kitchens and three bathrooms, add a new bathroom, and perform minor reconfigurations of walls and doors, though no building expansion is planned. Previously, the building underwent important infrastructure improvements in March 2019 with the replacement of the main water line, a project that has been successfully completed. The building's maintenance and incident record shows periodic issues with street cleanliness near the property, with five 311 calls logged between 2014 and 2024, primarily concerning abandoned mattresses and loose garbage on the street or sidewalk, all of which have been resolved.

A notable incident occurred in January 2016 involving offensive graffiti, which was also addressed and resolved. While these external cleansing issues are recorded, they appear to be more related to the neighborhood's shared public spaces rather than the building's internal conditions. The property's recent renovation activity and past water line replacement suggest that significant infrastructure improvements are being prioritized by the current ownership.
