873-875 Alvarado St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 873-875 Alvarado Street in Noe Valley is a two-story, two-unit residential building constructed in 1902, currently owned by Jonathan Bodine. The building underwent significant renovations between 2014-2017, including a major conversion from a single-family dwelling to a two-unit property, with work valued at $108,000 in July 2014 that encompassed garage space conversion, bathroom remodels, window replacements, and utility system updates.

The renovation project progressed through multiple permits and revisions, including the addition of a rear deck and stairs, and was completed with final inspection approval in December 2017. Historical records indicate several concerning periods for the property between 2006-2012, including multiple fire violations related to stairs, railings, and exit obstructions, along with several vacant building complaints between 2013-2018. The building faced significant maintenance issues in 2008, when violations were issued regarding unsafe front stairs with missing treads and dry rot, though these were ultimately abated in June 2012.

More recently, the property has had fewer directly related complaint issues, with only one building inspection complaint filed in April 2020 and occasional parking and sidewalk matters recorded through 311 calls. The most recent building improvements include a heating system upgrade in 2018, though this permit has expired without confirmation of installation completion. The property's documented history shows a transition from significant structural and maintenance issues to more recent periods of stability following comprehensive renovations.
