The 1212-1214 Union Street property is a two-unit, two-story residential building in Russian Hill, constructed in 1907, currently owned by 1212-1214 Union St LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations over the past few years, most notably a major interior remodel in 2020 costing approximately $556,490 that converted a former commercial space into residential units, and modifications to the front facade.

As part of a comprehensive safety upgrade, the building has received extensive fire safety improvements between 2021-2024, including the installation of 43 fire sprinklers, a dedicated fire service line, and a sprinkler monitoring system. Recent improvements in 2023 include the installation of heat pumps with multiple units throughout the building. The property has experienced some notable construction-related concerns from neighbors, particularly in 2020-2021, including complaints about construction noise from jackhammering and concerns about dust infiltration into neighboring units, though these issues were addressed promptly by building inspection authorities.

More recent permit activity includes interior remodeling work completed in early 2024 and the installation of new windows in both units. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, including complete rewiring projects in 2021 and 2022, demonstrating ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property. The site has generated typical urban area service calls for street cleaning and maintenance issues, including reports of overflowing city garbage cans and various street cleaning requests, though these are external to the building itself and have been generally resolved through normal city services.
