1861-1863 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The mixed-use property at 1861-1863 Union Street in Cow Hollow is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Oak Union Street LLC. The building has undergone significant recent changes, most notably a major renovation in 2021-2022 that included rafter repairs and roof restoration ($16,000) following a collapse, structural revisions, wall repairs, and concrete work ($5,000). The property underwent a substantial interior renovation in 2021 ($850,000) to modernize the retail store space, along with plumbing and electrical upgrades.

In late 2021, the second floor was converted from a single-family dwelling to a two-unit dwelling, including the addition of new kitchen and bathroom facilities. The building has a history of compliance issues regarding the Vacant Commercial Storefront Ordinance, with multiple violations recorded between 2018-2019, though these were all eventually abated. More recently, there was an illegal occupancy violation issued in November 2023, and an open violation regarding change of use was noted in the building's fire inspection records. The property has generated several noise complaints in 2024 related to entertainment activities, with at least one resulting in a notice of violation for operating entertainment after 11 PM.

Historical records show a significant building incident in 2006 when the structure was reported to be leaning approximately 8 inches. Recent maintenance and compliance history indicates active management, with prompt attention to structural repairs and improvements. The building's commercial space is currently occupied by MedMen, a cannabis retail business, following proper conditional use authorization. The property has maintained its essential services and undergone necessary upgrades, including roof repairs and safety improvements, though some recent violations and noise complaints suggest ongoing management challenges related to occupancy and entertainment operations.
