144-146 Bernard St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-unit residential building at 144-146 Bernard Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Pamela Siu Trust, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial renovation occurring in late 2017 when a bathroom and kitchen remodel was completed at a cost of $80,000, including the installation of recessed lighting and replacement of lath and plaster with gypsum board. This renovation was followed by mechanical updates in early 2018, including the installation of a new furnace with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $7,000.

Historical records show a reroofing project was permitted in 1993, though that permit is now expired. The building's recent maintenance history appears generally positive, with no recorded building code violations or major safety concerns in the past several years. However, there have been recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, particularly involving vehicles on the sidewalk, with multiple enforcement calls between 2018 and 2024, though most officers were unable to locate the reported vehicles.

A significant plumbing issue was recorded in October 2017 involving a sewage backup that required intervention from PUC Sewer Operations, which has since been resolved. The most recent building-related service request was made in February 2018 for a general building inspection, though the outcome of that request is not specified in the available records. The property has also experienced occasional issues with street cleanliness, as evidenced by a 2024 report of abandoned furniture and a 2010 incident involving hazardous materials (broken glass) on the street, both of which were resolved.
