245-249 Eureka St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 245-249 Eureka Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Caroline Oung. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past few years, most notably the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) completed in 2020, comprising two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, and media room. This project included extensive upgrades such as a fire sprinkler system installation ($12,658), followed by a series of finalization permits completed by mid-2023.

Other major renovations included a comprehensive soft-story retrofit in 2018 ($60,000) for seismic safety, structural repairs, foundation work, and electrical system upgrades, including a new 200-amp service and multiple sub-panels with modernized outlets and lighting fixtures throughout the building. The building has maintained an active regulatory history, with routine inspections revealing several fire safety and egress-related violations, all of which have been resolved. These included issues with fire proofing materials, combustible storage, fire extinguisher requirements, and rear deck repairs - all addressed by September 2001.

More recent work in 2019 involved lead paint removal from exterior surfaces and stairwells, which was completed by August 2019. The property's electrical and plumbing systems have seen extensive modernization, with multiple permits issued for new kitchen and bathroom installations, appliance upgrades, and system improvements. Historical records indicate two tenant buyouts in 2017 at 249 Eureka Street, both exceeding $87,500. The building's recent permits and improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and upgrading of safety systems, though there were some neighborhood concerns during construction periods in 2018 regarding debris and dust control, as well as temporary lead paint removal issues in 2019.
