1236 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1236 Francisco Street in the Marina district, owned by the Cohen Family Trust, was built in 1927 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. The most recent major work was completed in 2019, including a comprehensive electrical system upgrade that involved replacing meters for all units (1-4), installing new kitchen features in Unit 1, and addressing previous unauthorized modifications in the garage area.

Prior to this, in 2018, a storage closet was successfully converted into a tenant laundry facility, complete with new gas lines, electrical work, and plumbing connections. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with earlier projects including a complete reroofing in 2009 (cost: $15,000), while two earlier roofing permits from 1990-1991 had expired. The building has experienced routine housing inspections, with two notable violations recorded in 2006-2008 regarding gas utility shutoff tool requirements and self-closing exterior doors; however, these were promptly addressed and resolved within several months.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking and sidewalk parking between 2023-2024, though most were either unresolved, unable to validate, or involved vehicles that couldn't be located when enforcement officers responded. Most recently, there is an open case from September 2024 regarding an overgrown tree on the property. The building's documented history indicates regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with no serious safety violations or major infrastructure issues recorded in recent years.
