2088-2098 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 2088-2098 Union Street in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, operated by Union St Property Trust 1, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone significant recent changes. In late 2022 and early 2023, substantial improvements were made to the ground floor commercial space, including approximately $500,000 in interior renovations, installation of new HVAC units, and plumbing upgrades, while the retail space transitioned to a clothing store (Vuori). Several building permit applications were filed and completed during this period, including the installation of illuminated channel letters and wall signs.

The building's recent maintenance history shows attention to safety systems, with a 2014 fire alarm system replacement and fire extinguisher-related inspection in 2024, though there was one instance of blocked exits in 2015 that was promptly corrected. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm activations, though all were determined to be either malfunction-related or related to non-fire incidents like cooking. A variance request to convert upper floors from residential to office use without providing off-street parking was disapproved.

Recent records from 2024-2025 show recurring issues with street cleaning, including multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans and debris, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. Two minor complaints were filed in 2023 and 2024, one regarding a retail shelving installation and the other concerning a vacant structure, both of which were promptly addressed. The building's systems have received regular updates, including electrical system improvements in 2013 and plumbing upgrades in 2014-2022, indicating ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts by the ownership.
