2941-2943 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit residential building at 2941-2943 Broderick Street in Cow Hollow, built in 1912, is currently owned by 2941 Broderick Street LLC and has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years. Most recently, in July 2023, repairs were completed on the back deck at a cost of $15,000. The building has a history of deck-related issues, with earlier repairs documented in 2002 when fungus-damaged wood was replaced. A substantial renovation proposal from 2015, which included a horizontal addition at multiple floors, a new deck, and various infrastructure upgrades, was reinstated with an associated variance for rear yard reduction.

More recently, the property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including multiple sewer-related incidents in 2024 (March and November) and a sewer line replacement project that expired in October 2023. The building's maintenance history includes reroofing work in 1999 and a significant tenant buyout in January 2018 involving two tenants for $30,000. Notable building violations occurred in 2013 regarding an open downspout that caused water drainage issues to the neighboring property, which was subsequently addressed. The property has faced several quality of life issues in recent years, as evidenced by 311 calls, including reports of property damage from tree roots (2023), parking violations, and occasional garbage concerns.

A complaint in 2017 raised issues about rotted wood at the entry stairwell, deck problems, and heating system concerns, though these appear to have been resolved. Currently, there is an active planning proposal under review that seeks to demolish the existing structure and construct a new four-story building with two units, significantly increasing the building's square footage from approximately 4,044 to 7,535 square feet, and including two off-street parking spaces in a new basement level. This project, if approved, represents a major change to the property and its footprint. The building has experienced periodic issues with its immediate surroundings, including sidewalk tree root damage and periodic parking enforcement matters, though these are primarily external to the building itself.
