3991-3995 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 3991-3995 24th Street is a three-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, containing 8 units and built in 1911. The building has undergone significant recent activity, primarily centered around its commercial space which is occupied by Starbucks. Major improvements in 2022-2023 included a comprehensive remodel of the Starbucks store (valued at $344,000), installation of an UL300 fire system, conversion of basement space for food preparation, and various electrical and plumbing upgrades.

In 2019, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work (Tier 4) to comply with San Francisco seismic safety requirements, demonstrating the owner's commitment to structural integrity. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the years, particularly concerning the rear stairs and fire safety systems. Historical building complaints from 2000 and 2015 addressed deteriorated rear stairs serving as a second means of egress, and a 2020 complaint regarding unauthorized work on rear landings and staircases remains active.

The property has undergone multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades since 2014, including a new main sewer line installation in 2020 and several unit renovations. Recent complaints in 2022 regarding construction work and potential change of use from a restaurant to a ghost kitchen were investigated but ultimately closed as not active. While the recent building history shows significant investment in improvements and compliance with major safety requirements like the soft-story retrofit program, there have been periodic issues with unauthorized work and maintenance concerns, particularly related to the rear stairs. The most recent building permits indicate ongoing improvements to the commercial space, including interior modifications and new signage installation.
