1159-1161 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1159-1161 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, owned by Edward and Elizabeth Sarkiss, has undergone several significant renovations since 2014. The most recent work occurred in 2021, involving repairs to the rooftop deck including replacement of rotted wood and electrical outlet relocation, though this work initially generated complaints about unpermitted construction and exposed wiring.

Between 2014-2015, substantial interior remodeling was completed under a $55,000 permit, which included structural modifications such as adding steel posts, replacing windows and doors, and interior wall work across all floors. This period also saw significant infrastructure improvements including a new electrical service installation with multiple distribution panels, HVAC system upgrades, and garage modifications, including an enlarged door opening and new door installation. The property experienced some compliance issues in 2014, resulting in several notices of violation (NOV) related to unauthorized construction work, including concerns about improperly rebuilt walls, missing waterproofing, and unsafe construction practices, though these violations were ultimately abated in July 2017.

Additional building improvements included foundation work and various utility upgrades, with most construction-related permits marked as complete. The property has had several maintenance calls in recent years for sidewalk cleaning and waste removal, with the most recent building-related complaint occurring in October 2023 regarding noise. A street space permit was issued in both 2014 and 2015, indicating some use of public space for construction-related activities.
