281-287 Lily St, San Francisco, CA 94102
The property at 281-287 Lily Street is a two-story multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, containing 12 units and currently owned by Wisdom Don M Trust The. Built in 1900, this building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements in recent years. Most notably, in 2022, substantial interior remodeling was completed, including updates to bathrooms and kitchen, conversion of ground floor space, and installation of new patio doors and a skylight, with a permit cost of $785,000.
During the same period, exterior improvements were made with the addition of three new windows on the side breezeway and a skylight. The building has also seen infrastructure upgrades, including solar panel installation and sub-panel upgrades in early 2022, with the solar system consisting of 22 PV modules and a capacity of 9.02 kW. The building's history includes several maintenance and compliance issues that have since been resolved. In 2008, the property underwent routine housing inspection that identified multiple safety and maintenance concerns, including the need for handrails, fire extinguishers, and gas meter instructions, all of which were abated by March 2008.
More recent maintenance records show attempted reroofing work in 2021, though this permit was cancelled. A gas meter service restoration occurred in early 2023, indicating continued attention to building systems. The property's historical records show various smaller repair work from the 1980s through 2004, including plaster repair, dry rot work, and a proposed garage installation that was ultimately cancelled. The most recent incidents reported through 311 calls were unrelated to building conditions, involving external street cleaning and medical waste issues in the vicinity, which were both resolved.
