453-455 Douglass St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 453-455 Douglass Street, owned by Ray Talen Priva, is a 1905 flats/duplex structure containing two units. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, with active permits as of March 2023 for adding a new bathroom on the second floor, including necessary electrical and plumbing work, at an estimated cost of $28,001. Prior renovations include two complete bathroom remodels (2022), kitchen renovations in both units (2019 upper unit and 2018 second floor), and structural improvements including a complete reroofing (2017) and water damage investigation work (2017).

The building has received substantial structural attention over the years, including foundation work (2010) and repairs to address dry rot (2010). A historical complaint was filed in 2005 regarding unauthorized demolition of front stairs, which was resolved by 2010. Recent maintenance and safety records show two unintentional alarm activations (smoke detector and alarm system), with no civilian injuries reported.

The vicinity has experienced some ongoing maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding defaced signs, graffiti, and a pavement defect that remains open as of November 2024. While the building itself shows regular maintenance and improvement work, the surrounding area has faced challenges with street maintenance and public cleanliness, as indicated by various closed cases for graffiti and other street-related issues throughout 2023-2024. The property has maintained an active renovation schedule, particularly focusing on bathroom and kitchen improvements, with most recent work being properly permitted and documented.
