331-333 Cortland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 331-333 Cortland Avenue in Bernal Heights is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1915, containing three residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The building has undergone significant modifications over the years, including a major renovation in 2009-2010 that converted ground-floor retail space into food service use, complete with infrastructure for food vendors, electrical work, and accessibility improvements.

Notably, the ground-floor underwent transformation from retail sales to organic food service with the installation of kiosks and electrical outlets, while preserving the original character of the building. The property has maintained a commitment to sustainability, with the installation of multiple solar PV systems in 2009 totaling 6.8 kW, and recent plumbing work in 2020 that involved modifications to commercial sinks. The building has a history of addressing infrastructure and compliance issues, including foundation work completed in 2009 (capping existing foundation on three sides and replacing a portion in front), and resolving several plumbing violations from 2006 related to stormwater drainage systems.

In recent months (2023-2024), there have been some maintenance matters, including reports of flooding (December 2023) and recent garbage-related complaints, while property ownership appears to be maintained by the Debra L Resnik Revocable Trust. A significant recent development is the approved conversion of the property into a religious institution use (DBA Or Shalom Jewish Community) with associated conditional use approvals and minor code compliance alterations. The property has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, with all historical violations being resolved, though there have been occasional complaints regarding the commercial space vacancy (2019-2020) and parking-related issues.
