31-33 Chattanooga St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 31-33 Chattanooga Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Charles Varon and Myra Levy. Most notably, the building underwent significant compliance work in 2019 following a violation investigation that revealed an unpermitted dwelling unit in the ground floor, which included a full bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom/living room area.

This unauthorized space, which had been reportedly used for short-term rentals, was properly addressed through a $2,600 permit to remove the kitchen in the family room area, with the violation being officially abated by October 2019. The building has also seen various infrastructure improvements over the years, including a 2024 installation of EV charging infrastructure, a 2018 solar panel system (4.14 kW), termite repairs in 1999, and several plumbing/bathroom repairs in the early 1990s. Recent maintenance and compliance history shows attention to modern sustainability upgrades, while the 2019 violation and subsequent resolution demonstrates the owners' responsiveness to regulatory requirements.

The building's older records indicate historical issues were typically addressed through proper permits, including foundation work in 1990, reroofing in 1993, and bathroom repairs in 1991. The property has had some neighborhood concerns logged through 311 calls, including sidewalk issues (2022), waste concerns (2022), and general maintenance matters, though most of these were resolved promptly. Historical planning records show an approved rear yard variance for deck construction, indicating ongoing property improvements and adherence to local regulations.
