2542 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The Hsu Family Trust property at 2542 San Bruno Ave is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, constructed in 1907 and located in the Portola neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements and modifications over the years, with the most recent major maintenance occurring in 2015 when the house trap was replaced.

Between 2007 and 2008, substantial electrical work was completed, including rewiring of the ground floor, installation of numerous electrical fixtures, and conversion to a 200-amp service with two meters. The property underwent notable structural modifications in 2008, including installation of a new recessed double entry door, removal of non-bearing partition walls, and construction of one-hour fire-rated walls and ceilings on the first floor. Prior to these improvements, the building had a history of unauthorized modifications that were addressed in 2007, when a non-permitted unit on the ground floor was removed.

The property had one documented building complaint regarding mold on the ceiling from 2006, though records show this issue was abated by 2012. In addition to residential spaces, the ground floor has maintained commercial use, with planning records indicating previous operation as a fast-food and ice cream establishment with seating, located in an NC-2 district. The property has undergone regular maintenance and upgrades over the years, including a complete reroofing project in 2007, kitchen remodeling on the second floor in 2005, and various plumbing improvements, demonstrating ongoing investment in building upkeep and modernization.
