538-540 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 538-540 Broderick Street in Park North, owned by Jacqueline C Johnson, was constructed in 1902 and consists of two stories. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, including a major electrical upgrade in 2014 with the installation of a 100-amp subfeed, multiple circuits, and receptacles throughout the units.

Other notable improvements include a heat pump replacement in 2013, sewer line repairs in 2010, and various structural repairs in the early 1990s addressing foundation issues, dry rot, and stair replacements. A recent (April 2024) attempt to install separate water lines for each unit from a new meter was canceled after completion of street work. The building has experienced consistent street space usage, with permits issued in 2007, 2008, 2013, and 2018, suggesting regular maintenance or improvements requiring temporary street access.

Recent concerns include a persistent sidewalk defect reported in September 2024. There have been multiple parking enforcement calls between 2023 and 2024, with several documented cases of driveway blocking, though many resulted in officers being unable to locate the vehicles or the issue being reported without validation. The building's safety record shows minimal fire incidents, with only one confirmed cooking-related fire contained to a container, while other fire department responses were primarily for false alarms or unintentional transmissions, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents.
