2407 Judah St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit, two-story mixed-use building at 2407 Judah Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Andrew Fong & Betty Woo Cho, has undergone numerous significant changes since its construction in 1948. Most recently, in late 2024, the property is undergoing substantial renovations with the establishment of "Lion Kitchen," including kitchen remodeling, electrical work, and plumbing updates with an estimated total cost of $120,300 for the restaurant improvements alone.

The building has a documented history of restaurant activity, with several permitted improvements to bar and kitchen facilities between 2003 and 2012, including the installation of fire suppression systems and other safety features required for commercial use. However, the property has also experienced several compliance issues, most notably in 2010-2011, when there were violations related to unpermitted interior restaurant work and an unauthorized exterior garbage enclosure, though these were subsequently addressed. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roof replacement in 1990 and 2011, and various system upgrades, though there was a concerning hot water issue reported in 2006 that appears to have been resolved.

More recent activity at the property includes repeated reports of abandoned furniture on the street outside (2024), though these issues were resolved through normal city processes. While there have been some noise complaints related to the restaurant's operations (notably in 2011 regarding an exhaust fan), and various maintenance issues over the years, there have been no fire incidents with civilian injuries associated with the building. The property's recent activity suggests a continuing evolution of its commercial space, with permits being appropriately obtained for most recent improvements, though historically there have been instances of work being done without required permits.
