2155-2157 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 2155-2157 Union Street is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1904, containing three residential units and ground-floor retail space in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, currently owned by Best G K Real Estate. The building's recent history (2018-2024) reveals several significant maintenance and improvement projects, including structural work in 2018 to address dry rot and reinforce a third-floor roof deck, along with plumbing and electrical updates related to drainage system improvements.

The ground floor retail space underwent tenant improvements in 2016 for the installation of storage racks, awning modifications, and new signage, culminating in the successful establishment of a Formula Retail Use for Jo Malone London, replacing the previous tenant, Paparazzi. The property has experienced multiple 311 calls and complaints between 2022 and 2024, primarily related to sidewalk maintenance issues including debris, graffiti, and tree root damage. Notably, there was a historical facade-related complaint in 2018 regarding unauthorized work on the building's front facade.

Most concerning is a recent fire code violation issued on November 21, 2024, related to an ERRCS permit requirement, though this appears to have been addressed the same day. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with multiple completed permits for various improvements, though some permits have expired or transitioned to different statuses over time. The property has also required several street space permits between 2016-2022, suggesting recurring needs for temporary street access during maintenance or construction work.
