2160-2168 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 2160-2168 Union Street in Cow Hollow is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1907, containing 4 residential units and retail space, currently owned by Lewis Union Street LLC. The building has undergone several significant commercial transformations, most notably the establishment of a Verizon Wireless store in 2018, which required substantial electrical and plumbing work including installation of illuminated signs and new power distribution systems totaling over $180,000 in improvements.

The retail space has seen recent activity, including a 2024 permit for removing non-load bearing interior partition walls in the vacant retail space, and multiple plumbing work attempts in 2023-2024 including partial sewer replacements, though some permits were canceled or expired. Historical issues included a noise complaint in 2013 related to shop remodeling, though this violation is no longer active, and a brief heating system complaint in 1999 that was resolved the same day. Recent municipal records from 2020 through 2025 show several maintenance and service calls near the property, primarily addressing street cleaning needs including debris, hazardous materials, and graffiti, with the most recent being garbage and debris reports in late 2024.

The building has undergone various improvements and management changes over the years, including attempts to convert a former juice shop to a yoga studio and installation of new residential and commercial features. The property management has demonstrated attention to maintenance and compliance matters, as evidenced by multiple completed permits for essential systems and commercial improvements, though some recent plumbing-related permits have seen complications with expiring or canceled statuses. The building's history shows regular maintenance and adaptation to changing commercial needs, particularly focusing on retail space improvements and residential unit upkeep.
