2444-2448 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94115

This two-unit multi-family residential building at 2444-2448 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Bill Cahan, was constructed in 1890 and has undergone substantial improvements over the past two decades. The property has seen significant renovations, including a 2011 complete renovation of the rear unit (2446) with bathroom and kitchen remodeling, new windows, skylights, and a 65 sq. ft.

addition, followed by a comprehensive 2006 update of the entire building featuring extensive interior improvements, new electrical systems, and plumbing upgrades. Recent maintenance includes a completed reroofing project in April 2023 costing $2,800, though this work did generate one building complaint regarding alleged unpermitted work and bus line obstruction, which was abated within two weeks. The building's infrastructure has received appropriate attention, with multiple permits for seismic upgrades, including foundation bolting and shear wall installations in 2002, and various plumbing improvements including the installation of radiant floor heating systems in 2013 and 2016.

The property has undergone several kitchen and bathroom remodels between 2006 and 2016, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts. Recent municipal interactions primarily involve parking enforcement issues in 2024, though these are external to the building's condition. A notable planning record from 2006 involved the enlargement of the rear structure dwelling unit (studio) and a rear yard variance approval, indicating the property's development history was properly reviewed and permitted. The most recent building-related issue was a sewage backup from a side vent in December 2024, which was promptly resolved by the Public Utilities Commission.
