160 Bernard St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 160 Bernard Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Philip & Julia Campbell Revocable Trust, was originally constructed in 1939 as a one-story multi-family residential building (Flats & Duplex) and currently remains a single-story structure. Significant building modifications and safety upgrades have been implemented over recent years, most notably the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system between 2018-2019, which included both the system itself and a monitoring system, representing a substantial safety improvement valued at over $32,000.

The building underwent major construction in 2014-2017, originally proposed to be a four-story structure with multiple units, though ultimately the final unit configuration remains 2 units with 4-stories having been constructed. Recent improvements include an ornamental metal panel and gate installation at the front facade, which received approval in July 2024. The building's renovation period was not without challenges, experiencing some construction-related complaints in both 2017 regarding permit violations and excessive noise, though these issues appear to have been resolved.

Historical records indicate some complexities during the construction period, including revisions to structural elements and exterior features, but these modifications generally enhanced the building's safety and functionality. The property has undergone various utility improvements, including comprehensive plumbing updates with multiple bathroom and laundry facilities, though there were instances of expired permits in 2018 for certain plumbing work. Recent maintenance issues primarily relate to waste management practices, with multiple 311 calls between 2019-2020 regarding improper toter placement, suggesting some ongoing challenges with waste management practices.
