2863 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2863 23rd Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood was constructed in 1900 and contains four units, with a ground-floor commercial space. The property has undergone significant commercial improvements over the past decade, particularly related to a restaurant conversion known as "The Spice Jar" that began in 2011. This transformation included installing a new entry for handicap access, compliant restrooms, and a complete kitchen outfitted with hood systems, fire suppression, and modern plumbing features.

Recent years have seen additional commercial modifications, including a 2018 installation of a walk-in cooler. The building underwent major infrastructure work in 2008 with sewer line and house trap replacements, and earlier improvements include a complete roof replacement in 2013. Recent building and health records show ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, though there have been some areas of concern.

In 2021, there were complaints filed regarding gas heaters on the sidewalk and possible unauthorized structural modifications at the adjacent property, though these cases were marked as not active. The property has been the subject of multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and waste management issues, with two unresolved sanitation cases related to debris and pavement defects as of October 2024. Recent inspection activity includes a food safety inspection in October 2024 by the Department of Public Health. The building's commercial section has received various permits and inspections to ensure compliance with safety standards, including fire safety, electrical, and plumbing requirements, with most recent works focusing on maintaining food service operations in accordance with health regulations.
