296 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94133

296 Union Street is a 3-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, constructed in 1974 and currently owned by PRT Holdings LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past 15 years, with the most substantial work completed in 2018-2019, including the replacement of 28 windows and three patio doors, as well as 3,400 square feet of siding renovation, totaling $120,000.

The property has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades to individual units, particularly in 2008-2010, when multiple apartments received improvements including bathroom remodels, laundry installations, and electrical upgrades. The building's maintenance history shows attention to resident comfort and safety, with three documented elevator rescues and four fire alarm interactions (all non-fire related) recorded by the fire department, though none resulted in civilian injuries. A notable incident occurred in 2019 involving a sewage backup that required attention to an obstruction in the vent system.

The property has maintained active compliance with housing inspections, with routine inspections conducted in 2000, 2005, and 2007 showing only one violation related to combustible storage, which was promptly resolved within a month. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned exterior issues like graffiti and sidewalk conditions, as well as municipal service matters unrelated to building maintenance. The building's documented improvements and prompt response to any maintenance issues suggest regular upkeep of the property, with no active building violations or significant safety concerns currently on record.
