1540-1544 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 1540-1544 Union Street in Cow Hollow is a mixed-use three-story building constructed in 1906, containing 5 residential units and commercial space, currently owned by Isac & Eileen C Marchasin Revocable Trust. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in October 2018, when multiple violations were documented regarding interior conditions, including damaged ceilings, walls, and floor coverings, as well as concerns about mold, hazardous kitchen appliances, and non-code-compliant wooden floors.

These violations, which also included concerns about lead paint, were all formally abated by January 2019. More recent activity includes two filed permits in March 2023 related to ADA compliance, specifically for installing new signage and a battery-operated doorbell, demonstrating the owner's commitment to accessibility improvements despite claiming unreasonable hardship ($500 costs). The building's history shows several notable repairs and improvements, including the replacement of dry rot-damaged rear stairs in 2012 (costing $10,000) which were required for proper egress.

Historical records from the 1980s note various improvements including an awning installation with steel frame in 1985, and the addition of 1540A to the property addresses in 2012. Recent maintenance efforts outside the building have been documented through 311 calls, primarily relating to sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal between 2019-2022, though these external issues don't directly impact resident experience. The most recent documented permits show ongoing accessibility improvements, while the 2018 violations represent the most significant cluster of maintenance issues in the building's recent history.
