2542-2544 3rd St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 2542-2544 3rd Street is a two-story multi-family residential building with retail space, built in 1911 and currently owned by Ian Hannula. The building has undergone several significant changes over the past decades, most notably its conversion from a medical cannabis dispensary to cannabis retail in 2018, with an attempted expansion to include a designated cannabis smoking lounge in 2019-2020 (which ultimately resulted in a cancelled HVAC permit).

The property has seen regular maintenance and upgrades, including a recent reroofing project in 2023 costing $6,000, bathroom remodels in 2010 and 2015 for ADA compliance, and various electrical repairs. The building's history includes some concerning events, particularly during the early 2000s when major unauthorized remodeling work was reported, including a new storefront, circular stairs installation, and various electrical and plumbing modifications, though these violations were eventually abated by December 2005.

More recent issues include two water conservation ordinance violations in 2018, a general hazardous materials violation in December 2021 (which was quickly resolved), and several false alarm incidents recorded by the fire department. The property has experienced regular municipal service calls in 2024 for issues such as parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, though these are generally routine municipal matters and not indicative of building-specific problems.
