4039-4041 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 4039-4041 18th Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing three residential units above a ground-floor commercial space (originally a restaurant) in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements and renovations over the years, with the most recent building permit filed in December 2024 proposing further restaurant improvements including new equipment and accessible features. Major electrical upgrades were completed in 2004-2014, including the installation of a 400A service and extensive wiring for both residential and commercial spaces.

The property has a history of building compliance issues, particularly in 2004-2005 when unauthorized construction of additional units and basement work resulted in multiple complaints, though these issues were ultimately abated by November 2005. Several infrastructure maintenance issues have been documented over the years, including water damage repairs in 2007, plumbing work in 2014, and a sewage backup incident in 2021. The building's commercial space has been home to various restaurant operators, with the current tenant (Dumpling Table) having received approval for Type 41 license for on-site consumption of wine and beer.

The property has undergone multiple renovations to the restaurant space over the years, including substantial dining room modifications in 2014 and recent improvements in 2024. The building's location has experienced typical urban maintenance issues, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between 2020-2023 regarding sidewalk cleaning, loose garbage, and infrastructure concerns. Historical records show earlier residential issues, including a 2001 complaint about bathroom floor conditions and a 1994 complaint about unauthorized commercial activity in a residential area, though both were properly addressed. Recent inspections (2021-2023) have shown no major building violations or safety concerns, with most recent service requests being resolved through normal municipal processes.
