1567-1569 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 1567-1569 Union Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Cofi Hand Trust. The building has undergone numerous significant improvements over the past three years, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building in 2022 ($24,000), a fire/sprinkler monitoring system in 2023 ($7,125), and a re-roofing project in 2023 ($18,000). The most recent renovations, completed in October 2024, involved kitchen modifications on the second level, including the addition of an island and replacement of an induction cooktop with a gas range ($8,700).

The building has also received substantial safety upgrades, including a complete electrical system upgrade with 300-amp underground service in 2022, installation of a solar system (2.46 kW) in 2023, and other infrastructure improvements such as foundation work, bathroom and family room reconfigurations, and mechanical system upgrades. The building has experienced several fire safety-related issues over the years, with violations and corrections concerning sleeping area requirements, extinguishers, blocked exits, and alarm systems between 2015 and 2023. A recent complaint from March 2024 regarding the building being sold as a single-family home was filed but is currently marked as not active.

The property has maintained active compliance with fire safety requirements through recent improvements, including the installation of a new fire/sprinkler monitoring system and the correction of various violations. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property and surrounding area in 2023-2024, most relate to external issues like noise, garbage, and parking, rather than building-specific concerns. The current status of the building's occupancy type is somewhat ambiguous, with recent complaints suggesting a possible dispute over its classification as a single-family or multi-family residence, though official records indicate it is maintained as a two-unit building.
