1827-1829 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

This two-unit mixed-use building located at 1827-1829 Union Street in Cow Hollow was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Gary Karrass. The property has undergone several significant improvements, most notably in 2009 when substantial renovations were completed, including structural tenant improvements with new restrooms and dressing rooms (costing $35,000), installation of an ADA bathroom, water heaters, and a complete electrical upgrade including a new 100A panel for the retail space. Additional improvements in 2009 included mechanical upgrades with the installation of two furnaces with AC, though one associated permit was not completed in the system records.

The building has experienced some maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, including three fire alarm system issues between 2008-2014, though all were corrected or found to have no merit. A notable compliance matter occurred in 2019 when the property received a violation for failure to comply with the Vacant Storefront Ordinance, though this was abated within several months. The property has maintained its multi-family residential classification and continues to operate with two residential units above commercial space.

Recent activity from 2023-2024 has primarily involved maintenance issues on public property outside the building, including multiple reports of debris and waste on the street. While not directly related to the building's condition, these external cleanliness issues have been recurring in recent months. Historical records show other improvements including roofing work in 2001 and the installation of a canvas awning in 1993, though both permits have since expired.
