2850-2852 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2850-2852 23rd Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Joel Spiewak, has undergone several significant transformations since its construction in 1900. Originally consisting of retail spaces, the property was converted into residential units in the mid-1980s, with records showing attempts to create two apartments (1985, expired) and one apartment (1986, completed).

The building has seen various improvements over the years, including a second-floor kitchen and bathroom remodel in 1992 (expired), roof replacement in 1996 (expired), and important infrastructure updates such as water main replacement in 2021 and sewer repair in 2010, both completed successfully. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance issues, particularly concerning waste management, with numerous 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025 related to garbage and debris on the property and surrounding area, all of which were resolved. A notable recent event was the removal of a fallen tree in September 2024.

Currently, there are two planning applications under review to relocate the Mission Education Projects Inc. (MEPI) Out of School program to the property, aimed at providing academic support and enrichment activities for local students. The building's record shows a pattern of permits related to both maintenance and modifications, with the most recent significant infrastructure improvements focusing on essential systems rather than cosmetic or structural changes.
