1824-1826 Noriega St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1824-1826 Noriega St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, built in 1932 and currently owned by the Douglas L Yee Living Trust. The building underwent significant rehabilitation in 2013, following a serious regulatory issue where unpermitted commercial occupancy of the second floor was discovered, violating its designated R-3/B use.

This violation, filed in May 2013, led to multiple Notices of Violation and abatement proceedings, which were eventually resolved by September 2013 through a series of permitted improvements including kitchen restoration, bathroom remodeling, and the conversion back to proper residential use, with additional permits specifying the installation of two full bathrooms and associated electrical work. More recent history shows various infrastructural and maintenance issues, including a sewage backup incident in November 2021, and multiple complaints about blocked driveways between 2020-2021, though enforcement responses were generally unable to locate the offending vehicles.

The surrounding area has experienced some common urban environmental issues, as evidenced by 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and medical waste in 2022-2024, as well as a tree vandalism incident in March 2022 that required municipal intervention for removal. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's condition, they provide context about the neighborhood environment. The building's most significant recent improvements were completed in 2013, with no major building permits or violations recorded in the past decade, suggesting relative stability in terms of structural compliance and maintenance requirements since the 2013 remediation work.
