2401 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 2401 23rd Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1916, containing three units and classified as Flats & Duplex. The building's owner, Min Lei Qi, has maintained the property through several significant events over the years. Most notably, in recent months (January 2025), there have been multiple complaints regarding graffiti (both private and public) on and around the building, along with reports of a collapsed sidewalk and some street cleaning issues.

These concerns remain open and require attention. The building's commercial space has experienced several transitions and challenges, including multiple complaints about an abandoned storefront between 2021 and 2024, and some confusion over its use classification between grocery store and restaurant. The property has undergone several important maintenance and improvement projects, including sewer line and house trap replacement in 2017, and roofing work completed in 1995.

Recent work in 2023 involved the removal of two storefront awnings. There was also an attempt in 2018 to change the commercial use from grocery/deli to limited restaurant, which was ultimately cancelled after facing regulatory scrutiny; however, subsequent planning records show back-and-forth approvals and disapprovals regarding this use change, with final approval given for "Retail Grocery or Specialty Food Store" designation. The building has experienced some infrastructure attention, with a 2025 sidewalk inspection finding no conditions requiring notice to repair. A notable tenant buyout occurred in 2022 for a property on adjacent Vermont Street, involving a payment of $30,000 for one tenant.
