2938 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit residential building at 2938 Pierce St in Cow Hollow, built in 1900, is currently undergoing significant renovations, with major work permitted in September 2024 including a kitchen remodel, bathroom additions, new rear deck installation, and window/door modifications at the rear of the building. This project is valued at $600,000 and is accompanied by a 200-amp electrical service upgrade with two meters, also permitted in July 2024.

The building has a history of foundation-related maintenance, with retaining wall replacements recorded in both 1996 and 1997, and various improvements to its structure and safety features including fire escape repairs and deck maintenance in 1996, followed by a complete reroofing in 1991. Recent building-related issues have primarily focused on exterior maintenance and street presence, with several 311 calls in 2023-2024 concerning tree root damage to the sidewalk, overgrown vegetation, and garbage concerns around the property.

The sidewalk defect caused by tree roots and a previously noted dead tree removal (marked as low priority) in 2023-2024 indicate ongoing landscape management challenges. Parking enforcement has been required on several occasions in 2024 for illegal parking and driveway blocking, suggesting some persistent parking issues in the vicinity. The property's current extensive renovations appear to be addressing many of the building's infrastructure needs, though the ongoing sidewalk tree root situation remains an open concern as of September 2024.
