239 Shipley St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-story multi-family residential building at 239 Shipley Street, owned by Charles D. and Rose M. O'Connor, was constructed in 1987 and currently contains 6 units. The property has undergone significant transformations over the years, most notably in 2015 when a major $120,000 conversion project was completed to transform the rear garage into office space with new facilities, including a light court, laundry, bathroom, and bicycle parking spaces.

This conversion involved multiple permits across different trades, including plumbing and electrical work, and was successfully completed in 2016. Earlier modifications included the installation of sprinklers throughout the building in 1990, and more recent maintenance activities such as plumbing adjustments for washer/dryer installation in 2013. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over its history. In 2011, multiple violations were recorded regarding fire safety, specifically related to smoke enclosure door closers, though these were resolved by February 2011.

A leaking dishwasher in 2021 caused floor damage, though this complaint was subsequently resolved. Most recently, there was a fire alarm system complaint in August 2024 that was found to have no merit, and a curbed or curb ramp defect was resolved in October 2024. While there have been occasional fire incidents recorded by the SFFD, they were primarily related to false alarms or minor issues, with no civilian injuries reported. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2007 and 2011, and regular maintenance and upgrade work continues to be performed as evidenced by multiple work permits in recent years.
