3142-3144 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The Browne Family Trust 2020 owns this three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 3142-3144 Buchanan Street in Cow Hollow, constructed in 1941. The property has undergone several substantial improvements over the past two decades, with the most significant recent work occurring between 2018-2019, including comprehensive bathroom remodels on two floors (costing $85,000 combined), roofing replacement ($14,922), and the extension and renovation of a roof deck with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $59,000.

Earlier improvements include the installation of 29 dual-glazed vinyl replacement windows in 2003 and repairs to address dry rot issues in 2004, indicating ongoing maintenance attention to building upkeep. The building has experienced a significant number of parking-related issues in recent months, with eight documented cases of driveway blocking between December 2023 and September 2024, resulting in several citations being issued.

While most of these incidents resulted in either citations or officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles, they represent a recurring concern for access to the property. The most recent building improvements, including the 2022 replacement of 14 interior doors, demonstrate continued investment in building maintenance, though no major structural changes appear to have been made beyond the previously approved variance for additional bedrooms, bath, and laundry facilities at the third-story level. The property's recent history shows a pattern of regular upgrades and maintenance work, with the last major renovations focusing on modernizing bathroom facilities, improving outdoor spaces, and maintaining essential systems like roofing and windows.
