343-345 Liberty St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 343-345 Liberty Street, constructed in 1974 and currently owned by the Benjamin R Meyer Trust, has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements over recent years. In 2016, a comprehensive fire safety upgrade was completed, including the installation of a new NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system, underground fire service main, and a sprinkler water flow supervisory system, with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling over $16,000.

Additional improvements during this period included the installation of a hydronic radiant heating system across multiple floors, water heater updates, and various plumbing upgrades including bathroom and kitchen repiping. The property has had some structural work, including retaining wall modifications in 2015, and more recent improvements include the installation of a Level 2 EV charger in October 2024.

However, there are two current concerns: an open sidewalk defect reported in April 2024 regarding a collapsed sidewalk, and a sewer-related issue reported in August 2023. The building has a history of parking-related complaints, particularly regarding driveway blockages, with multiple incidents reported between 2018 and 2022, though these appeared to be resolved through citations or officer response. While there were proposals in 2019-2020 regarding a potential unit merger and addition project, these were either withdrawn or withdrawn with discretionary review status, indicating no current plans for such modifications.
