2857-2859 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 2857-2859 Mission Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1908, containing three residential units plus commercial space, currently owned by the Alfonso Portillo Irrevocable Trust. Recent modifications in 2023 focused on accessibility improvements, including the installation of new power doors and accessible hardware to comply with the Accessible Business Entrance Program.

The commercial portion of the building has undergone significant renovations, particularly in 2020, when approximately $100,000 was invested in remodeling the restaurant space, including kitchen equipment upgrades, lighting improvements, and the installation of a walk-in refrigerator (though this permit was ultimately canceled). The building has seen substantial electrical system upgrades, including a 400-amp service upgrade in 2015 and various lighting installations, and underwent comprehensive plumbing work in 2017 to support restaurant operations, including the installation of multiple sinks, a grease interceptor, and utility system upgrades. The property has experienced some regulatory challenges, including a notable period of violations in 2009 related to an unpermitted change of use from retail to restaurant, which led to abatement proceedings and was finally resolved in 2014.

More recently, there was a complaint in 2019 regarding the alleged construction of illegal units in the residential portion, though this complaint is now listed as not active. The building's exterior has undergone various improvements, including the installation of fiber cement siding in 2019 (though this permit was canceled) and a new illuminated sign for the beauty salon in 2017. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning issues and graffiti on nearby infrastructure, though these are external to the building itself.
