2840-2842 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit residential building at 2840-2842 Buchanan Street in Pacific Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by the Nellas Alex L Trust The. The building's maintenance history shows several significant structural improvements, with the most recent major work being a $4,000 repair of dry rot in the exterior stucco wall in 2001, particularly affecting the side front courtyard.

Earlier repairs included foundation strengthening work in 2000 (following a previous expired permit from 1999) and chimney and flue strengthening, with an associated cost of $15,000, as well as various improvements in the late 1980s including garage deck membrane replacement and the installation of a two-car parking garage. The property has experienced numerous parking-related issues based on 311 calls, particularly between 2022-2024, with at least ten documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways or requiring parking enforcement intervention.

Most of these incidents resulted in citations being issued, with varying degrees of resolution. The most recent incidents occurred in late 2023 and early 2024, involving abandoned vehicles and driveway blocking situations that were addressed by parking enforcement officers. While these parking enforcement issues do not directly affect the building's structure or maintenance, they do suggest ongoing challenges with parking management in the immediate vicinity of the property.
