2537-2541 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 2537-2541 24th Street is a two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1900 and owned by the Ling Kuen Woo Trust. The building consists of two residential units and is classified as a Flat & Store with 4 units or less. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced some challenges over its recent history. Most notably, in 2011-2012, comprehensive accessibility upgrades were completed to comply with ADA requirements, including bathroom remodels, entrance modifications, and the installation of automatic door openers, with associated electrical and plumbing work.

More recent improvements include electrical system upgrades in 2012 (including a 200-amp service upgrade), installation of a tankless water heater, and various bathroom renovations. The building has experienced several maintenance issues and compliance matters over the years. In 2006, violations were filed regarding unpermitted construction work including exterior stairs, a window addition, and siding modifications, though these were ultimately resolved by 2016. More recent concerns include complaints about exposed electrical wires in 2018-2020, water leakage through windows in 2018, and some unpermitted deck construction in 2011.

The property has also faced recurring issues with graffiti, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024, though many of these have been promptly addressed by city services. The building has retained its commercial operation as a restaurant, with permits showing its continuation as J & E Restaurant with a Type 41 alcohol license. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to graffiti removal and maintenance issues on public areas around the building, rather than direct building code violations or safety concerns. The most recent building-related complaints date back to 2018-2020, suggesting that while maintenance issues have persisted, there have been no major structural or safety violations in recent years.
