1588-1592 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1588-1592 Union Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Ceruti Living Trust, has undergone substantial renovations and improvements since 2022. The property, built in 1902, has seen multiple unit upgrades including recent extensive work in January 2024 involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, new electrical systems, and window replacements costing over $200,000 in total. Notably, a significant fire safety system upgrade was completed in February 2023, replacing the entire fire system with new control panels, smoke detectors, and low-frequency horns in all units.

The building has experienced three tenant buyouts in 2023 (two of them in July 2023, one for $125,000 and another for $65,000). While the building has had periodic violations and complaints over its history, most notably in 2001 regarding fire safety and ventilation issues, these were resolved by December 2001. Recent concerns have primarily involved maintenance issues such as graffiti removal (2021-2023) and a 2019 complaint about a commercial sign posing safety concerns.

The property has experienced three "blocked exits" fire complaints between 2019-2021, all determined to have "No Merit," and has recorded two false alarm activations of smoke detection systems with no injuries reported. A recent noise complaint from June 2024 remains open as of October 2023. The building's current renovation activity appears focused on modernizing units while maintaining safety compliance, with no active building violations or serious safety concerns on record.
