437-443 Austin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 437-443 Austin Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 23rd Austin Post LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent work occurring in 2022 including a kitchen renovation, installation of a tankless water heater, electrical rewiring, and electric heat installation, with a total investment of approximately $16,500. Earlier improvements included in-kind stair and deck replacement in 2011 and reroofing work in 2002.

The building experienced multiple violations in March 2002 related to safety and security, including issues with stairs, handrails, self-closing exterior doors, and egress obstructions, though all these violations were abated by September 2002. Routine safety inspections were conducted in 1996, 2002, 2010, and 2013, with all cases being marked as not active. A tenant buyout occurred in August 2017 involving four tenants with a payout amount of $20,000.

The property has generated numerous 311 calls in late 2024 regarding street cleaning, garbage, and debris issues, as well as parking violations, though these appear to be primarily related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself. One fire complaint was filed in December 2013, but the condition was corrected on the same day. Recent building systems maintenance and upgrades suggest active management of the property's infrastructure, particularly in terms of modernizing heating and water systems.
