942-944 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 3-unit residential building at 942-944 Union Street in Russian Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1929, currently owned by Donald J & Theresa A Gariba. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the decades, with the most notable being the installation of an automatic fire sprinkler system in 1985, followed by an expansion project that added a unit to the rear of the garage and basement in 1984.

Other substantial work includes termite repairs in 2010, complete electrical overhaul with house meter and panel installation in 2009, window replacement in 1990, and kitchen renovations in 1994. The building conversion from R-3 (two family dwelling) to R-2 (three units) in 2009 triggered routine housing inspections in 2010, all of which were completed and abated. More recent property management issues have primarily involved external maintenance matters, particularly regarding street trees, with multiple reports of damaged and overgrown trees between 2019 and 2021.

The building's location has experienced recurring parking enforcement matters, with several documented cases of driveway blocking between 2021 and 2023. The property underwent routine street maintenance and external cleaning activities as evidenced by 311 calls, including removal of sidewalk graffiti in 2013 and management of a burnt-out streetlight in 2015. The most recent building permit on record is from 2014 for street space usage, though no significant violations or complaints have been filed against the property in recent years, suggesting reasonable maintenance and compliance with building regulations.
