171-173 Douglass St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 171-173 Douglass Street, owned by Armando Molina, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The most significant recent work occurred in 2018 when substantial improvements were made to both units, including bathroom remodels, plumbing upgrades (replacing galvanized pipes with copper throughout), electrical system enhancements (installation of new lighting, switches, receptacles, and smoke detectors), and window and dryrot repairs in the lightwell, totaling approximately $35,000 in construction costs.

These improvements also included the installation of a new sub-panel with 60-amp service. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure with earlier work including bathroom remodeling and roofing work from 2005, though the roofing permit expired.

Recent external issues have mainly involved urban maintenance matters, including two open tree-related cases from 2020-2022 regarding sidewalk damage and landscaping, and one closed case in 2024 regarding abandoned furniture removal. The property's location has experienced periodic urban maintenance challenges typical of the area, such as graffiti (resolved in 2020), illegal postings (2019), and multiple signage issues in 2017, all of which were addressed through normal city processes. The last building permit activity on record was in 2018, though this was extensive and covered multiple systems and areas of the building.
