2289-2295 3rd St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 2-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space at 2289-2295 3rd St, built in 1900 and owned by the Tobin Family Trust, has undergone numerous modifications and improvements over the past decade, particularly focused on its commercial spaces. Recent construction and safety improvements include the installation of an UL-300 fire suppression system (2022), hood and duct replacement (2022), and various fire safety system upgrades.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, as evidenced by multiple fire code violations between 2016-2024, including recent violations in 2023 related to fire extinguisher maintenance and gas shutoff tools, and an active violation from October 2024 regarding an ERRCS permit requirement. Notably, there was a gas leak incident recorded by the fire department, though fortunately, no injuries were reported in any incidents. The property has maintained an active commercial footprint, with several successful restaurant ventures including Glena's, Happy Cow Creamery & Tea, and The Wooly Pig, each requiring various tenant improvements (TI) and health permits.

Significant renovations have been performed over the years, including a major restaurant remodel in 2016 ($61,000), window replacements, siding work, and ADA upgrades. Various building systems have been updated through multiple permits, including electrical panel relocation (2018), comprehensive electrical system upgrades (2010), and extensive plumbing improvements. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both residential and commercial spaces, though recent active violations and complaints suggest some ongoing compliance issues, particularly related to fire safety and building documentation requirements.
