338-340 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 338-340 Divisadero Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground floor commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 340 Divisadero LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably the conversion of vacant commercial space into a nail salon in 2022, which included both building modifications (completed at a cost of $15,000) and plumbing work for sink installations. In 2020, the property completed necessary termite remediation work (costing $18,000) and addressed a foundation-related building violation that had been filed that December, which was resolved by January 2021.

The building has seen various infrastructure upgrades including a new furnace and duct system installation in 2018, electrical panel replacement in 2022, and recent maintenance involving roof repairs and kitchen renovations in the late '90s. The property has experienced some historical challenges with its commercial space, including multiple complaints about vacant storefronts in 2019 and 2020, and a period of unpermitted seismic foundation work in late 2020. A tenant buyout occurred in February 2021 involving one tenant receiving $21,000. More recently, there has been a pattern of graffiti incidents reported in 2023-2024 around the property, primarily affecting public infrastructure like bike racks and signal boxes.

Currently, there is an on-hold planning application for a proposed 370 sq. ft. roof deck installation at 338 Divisadero Street. While the building has had several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, many of the recent issues have been related to external factors like graffiti and public space concerns rather than building systems or tenant conditions.
