2386-2388 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2386-2388 Mission Street, owned by Stuart O. Kepner, was constructed in 1907 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most significant being a 2016 roof drainage problem that resulted in water being directed onto the adjacent property, leading to multiple violations that were finally abated in 2020.

The building has a concerning history of fire safety system issues, with recurring complaints about alarm systems and sprinkler/standpipe systems between 2017 and 2023, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected" upon follow-up inspections. More recent building modifications include a 2017 roof drain repair and historical works such as reroofing in 1989 and sidewalk repairs in 2003. The property has seen various infrastructure improvements and maintenance activities, including a major water line replacement in 2008, though some permits from 1988 related to central heating and minor partition changes were either cancelled or expired.

Recent planning records indicate an ongoing review regarding the conversion of a former jewelry store to a check-cashing facility. The most recent incidents involve multiple cases of graffiti and debris on public property reported between December 2024 and January 2025, though these were outside the building proper and primarily affected public infrastructure. The building's elevator system has been involved in two emergency responses, one for removal of individuals from a stalled elevator and another for a malicious false alarm, though no civilian injuries were reported in either incident.
