137-139 16th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 137-139 16th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Darrell Joseph Galli and Lest. The building has undergone significant renovations and upgrades in recent years, most notably a major conversion of non-habitable attic space into habitable space for the upper unit in 2021 (with a proposed cost of $65,000), followed by the installation of a comprehensive residential fire sprinkler system in 2022-2023, including multiple permits and associated costs of over $10,000.

The electrical system has been substantially upgraded, with a new 400-amp panel installed in December 2023, following a full rewire during the 2022 renovation, which also included new heating systems and various plumbing improvements. The renovation period experienced some community concern, with a complaint filed in October 2021 regarding after-hours construction noise and activities, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The property has a documented history of plumbing issues, including sewer backups in 2019 and infrastructure work in 2014 involving repairs to the house trap and sewer line.

Recent municipal records show ongoing maintenance needs in the vicinity, including tree root impacts on the sidewalk reported in 2022 and 2024. The building's planning records indicate several approved modifications, including new dormer windows and a recently approved patio addition, with all work subject to regulatory review and compliance. The property has two historical housing complaints from 1998 regarding possible illegal units, though these were resolved and are no longer active.
