342-344 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 342-344 Divisadero Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, located in Hayes Valley. Built in 1900 and currently owned by the Bonnie K Spindler Living Trust, this two-story structure has undergone several significant improvements over the years.

Major renovations in 2007 converted part of the building into a pet grooming facility, including the installation of three dog baths, bathroom reconstruction, and electrical modifications, with additional modifications made to storage areas later that same year. The building has seen infrastructure improvements, including a complete roof replacement in 2000 and the installation of a solar panel system in 2013 (comprising six rooftop panels with a total rating of 1.5 kW). More recently, in 2014, the gas meter was relocated with the associated utility line work properly completed.

The property has experienced recurring incidents of non-offensive graffiti, particularly affecting nearby bike racks and the public sidewalk, with the most recent incidents occurring between September 2023 and May 2024. While these external aesthetic issues don't directly impact building safety or habitability, they reflect ongoing challenges with street-level maintenance in the vicinity of the property. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and improvements, though it should be noted that a plumbing permit for bathroom work initiated in 2015 was ultimately canceled, and an electrical permit from 2007 expired without record of completion.
