547-551 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit residential building at 547-551 Union Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by 547 Union LLC, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone significant renovations in recent years. Between 2018 and 2020, substantial improvements were made to the property, including comprehensive unit renovations, HVAC system upgrades, and fire safety improvements. Major work included the installation of new furnaces and water heaters, bathroom renovations, kitchen updates, and the installation of a new fire alarm system to comply with current safety codes (SFBC 1103.7.6.1).

The building underwent significant rehabilitation during 2019, with some controversial moments including complaints about improper debris disposal during renovation work, though all building permits were eventually completed or properly canceled. The property has a history of addressing safety and maintenance concerns, with the most recent major fire safety improvements completed in early 2020. Historical building violations from 2000 through 2004, primarily related to fire safety and accessibility issues, were all resolved.

In recent months (2024), there have been multiple reports of street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues, mainly involving garbage and debris that were promptly resolved by city services. A planning record indicates a past issue with the first floor being boarded up without permits, which was addressed through proper permitting processes. The building's fire incident records show mostly false alarms or non-injury incidents, with no significant fire-related injuries reported.
