The three-unit multi-family residential building at 152-154 Sproule Lane in Nob Hill, owned by the Ellen Broadhurst Exempt Trust, is a two-story flats & duplex structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues over its history. Most recently, in November 2023, a violation was issued regarding sleeping area requirements, and in July 2023, there was an alarm systems violation that was corrected by September 2023.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with violations and complaints related to alarm systems (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017), sprinkler/standpipe systems (2021), and blocked exits (2019). Multiple bathroom remodel projects have been completed between 2016-2018, including electrical upgrades and plumbing work totaling approximately $27,000. The property experienced notable compliance challenges in 2016, when a Notice of Violation was issued regarding unauthorized construction of a wall at the top of stairs leading to Malvina Alley, which prompted abatement proceedings that were resolved by August 2016.

This incident also led to the installation of a fence to comply with a Notice of Violation. The building has undergone several major improvements, including the replacement of 16 windows (2013), reroofing projects (2006, 1993), and various safety-related upgrades. Recent 311 calls show parking enforcement issues in 2023-2024 and a construction noise report in December 2017, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The property has a verified address change from 154 Sproule Lane to 152 Sproule Lane in May 2018 and has maintained regular updates to address various building and safety requirements over the years.
