2251 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 2251 Market St is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1894, containing 3 residential units above a ground-floor commercial space, currently operating as Finn Town Restaurant. The building has undergone several significant improvements and renovations over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2016 when approximately $125,000 was spent on ground floor restaurant renovations including ADA upgrades, followed by comprehensive plumbing and electrical work totaling over $30,000 for extensive kitchen equipment installation. A new UL 300 fire suppression system was also installed during this period, indicating attention to safety compliance.

The building experienced some regulatory challenges between 2010-2016, including a period of vacancies in 2019-2020, and multiple fire complaints in recent years, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit". Recent maintenance issues have been primarily related to external factors, with several 311 calls in 2024 regarding street cleaning and bicycle lane obstructions outside the property. The property's ownership structure is through the Raymundo Luna 2008 Trust, and it has retained its multi-family residential classification while serving as a long-standing commercial space.

Historical records show consistent investment in maintaining and upgrading both the residential and commercial components of the building, including a 2016 roof replacement and various sign permits. The building has maintained active compliance with most regulatory requirements, though there were instances of expired permits and a past notice of violation in 2010 related to commercial tenant improvements that required final inspection. Recent planning records show various approvals for restaurant use and ABC licensing, along with multiple permits for signage and exterior improvements, demonstrating ongoing compliance with local business regulations. The most recent building-related issues have been minimal and primarily related to external factors rather than structural or safety concerns.
