480-482 Douglass St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 480-482 Douglass Street is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jeffrey John Waters, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building is undergoing significant changes as of October 2023, with an issued permit for converting the first floor into an independent unit, involving substantial modifications to bathrooms, kitchen, dining areas, and living spaces, along with bedroom reconfigurations and garage space modifications, with an estimated cost of $325,000. This follows several substantial renovations in recent years, including a major 2018-2019 renovation project ($285,000) that remodeled the second floor, replaced various systems, and added new heating, followed by additional bathroom and patio improvements.

The building has undergone several system upgrades, including the installation of a 6.24kW solar PV system in 2022, electrical service upgrades, new plumbing fixtures in 2018, and furnace replacements in both units. A sprinkler system violation was issued in late 2022, though the disposition was listed as "correct - no permit." The property has maintained compliance with various city requirements, including an administrative permit in 2018 to verify its legal two-unit occupancy status. While there was one building complaint filed in March 2019 regarding work without a posted permit, this case is currently listed as not active.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to basic infrastructure through projects like reroofing (completed in 2014), sewer line replacement (2011), and various bathroom remodels. Recent 311 calls between 2023 and 2024 have primarily concerned routine neighborhood issues such as tree maintenance and street cleaning, with the most recent concerns being related to garbage debris (December 2024) and public health matters (August 2024). The property's planning records indicate approval for current renovations while noting the existing unit configurations, which consist of a smaller third-floor unit and a larger first/second-floor unit, though these changes are not expected to affect the number of dwelling units.
