1878 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 1878 Union Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Serge Matt 2019 Living Trust. The building has undergone several modifications over the years, with the most recent significant work being completed in April 2023, which involved barrier remediation work to comply with accessibility requirements.

A more recent compliance issue arose in December 2022 when it was discovered that an awning had been installed without the proper permits, leading to violations that were ultimately abated in June 2024. Prior to this, the building underwent some exterior improvements in 2007 with two separate awning installations and reroofing work in 2006. The building's maintenance record shows a concerning pattern in early 2025, with ten separate instances of overflowing city garbage cans reported between January 1 and January 14.

These recent sanitation issues, while not directly affecting building safety, may indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Historical records show minimal serious incidents affecting building safety, with the only notable complaint being a blocked exit reported in December 2013 that was deemed to have no merit upon investigation. Other planning records indicate installation of accessibility features such as a bollard with door actuators, and a change of use to a personal service hair salon at the adjacent 1888 Union Street address, though these modifications are not directly related to the residential portion of the property.
