2338-2340 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The Cow Hollow multi-family residential building at 2338-2340 Union Street is a 2-story, 9-unit apartment structure built in 1919, currently owned by Kathleen & Teresa Kelley 20. The property has undergone significant safety and infrastructure upgrades in recent years, most notably the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system ($12,000) and a new fire alarm system ($23,000) in 2019 to bring the building into compliance with current fire safety requirements. The building completed a substantial electrical upgrade in 2020, including the installation of a new 400-amp service adding 4 new meters, and underwent soft-story seismic retrofit work which is now complete and CFC-issued.

In 2023, the building received violation notices for the alarm system and sprinkler service maintenance, though these have since been abated. The property has a history of regular maintenance and improvements, including plumbing work in 2019 for sewer systems and water pipes in multiple units, as well as various unit renovations. Historical records show some building code violations from 1997-2008 regarding fire safety and door safety issues, though these were resolved.

Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street and sidewalk matters outside the building, including a sidewalk defect (2024) and garbage issues (2024). The building's current systems appear to be properly maintained, with most recent permits and violations being addressed in a timely manner. The addition of three accessory dwelling units on the first floor was completed as part of a 2017 soft-story retrofit project.
