854-858 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 854 Rhode Island Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by the Peter & Smaro Chiotras Trust. The building features ground-floor commercial space, historically used as a grocery store, which was converted to a deli in 1986.

It has maintained its status as a legal non-conforming limited commercial use (LCU) under RH-3 zoning, with approved ABC Type 21 liquor license referrals for Chiotras Grocery at both 854 and 858 Rhode Island Street. The building's recent history includes a significant tenant buyout in June 2024, involving two tenants and a payment of $48,000. The property has been the subject of various municipal service requests (311 calls) between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent being related to illegal parking in June 2024.

These calls primarily concerned street maintenance and parking issues, including multiple reports of illegal parking (most recently in 2024 and several times in 2020-2021), sidewalk cleaning needs, and shared space structure concerns from 2022 that remain open. A notable incident requiring government intervention occurred in 2021 involving a request for environmental health services that was transferred to the DPH Environmental Health Consumer Protection, Food Safety Program. The property has also faced some sanitation challenges, including reports of garbage and waste on public areas, though most of these cases have been resolved appropriately through municipal services.
