2243-2247 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 2243-2247 Market Street is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1905 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building underwent significant renovations in 2012, including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system, kitchen fire suppression updates, and a remodeled bar area valued at $55,000, which included new lighting fixtures and door/window replacements. Prior to this, in 2004, there was extensive work done on the property including a cosmetic alteration to the street front retail space and restaurant remodels, though many of these permits expired.

Recent activity from late 2024 to early 2025 has generated several 311 calls, mostly related to garbage and debris on the street, including multiple reports of Christmas trees and some public health and mechanical equipment concerns that remain open. The building has a history of fire safety-related issues, with complaints and violations noted in 2010 regarding unpermitted work, though these were subsequently closed. There were also two fire-related incidents recorded in 2010 involving elevator emergencies, neither resulting in civilian injuries.

The property has experienced periodic fire safety inspections and violations, with the most recent Shared Spaces complaint in 2021 having been deferred in 2023. The building's commercial space has had a history of various uses and modifications, transitioning to a full-service restaurant and bar as permitted through conditional use requests. The property has been subject to regular maintenance and safety upgrades, particularly in 2012 when significant improvements were made to comply with fire safety requirements, including the installation of a Unimode 5 fire control communicator system and related safety equipment. While there have been numerous maintenance and safety-related permits issued over the years, most recent complaints tend to focus on exterior issues affecting the public right-of-way rather than building safety or habitability concerns.
