870-872 Elizabeth St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 870-872 Elizabeth Street in Noe Valley is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Russell & Anita P Murphy. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including solar panel installation in 2014 (16 rooftop panels, 4kW system), foundation work in 2015 (new foundation for rear storage room and walkway), and a deck and stairs replacement in 2007 using pressure-treated materials.

An earlier major renovation occurred in 1985 when a second story was added to the original one-family dwelling. The property has experienced various maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2022, when multiple reports were filed regarding tree-related problems, including property damage and vandalism, though arborist inspections determined these were not urgent safety hazards.

There were also incidents involving illegal postings (2023), driveway blockage (resolved with citation), and two Rent Board inquiries (April 2022 and January 2022). A tenant buyout was recorded at 876 Elizabeth Street (the adjacent property) in October 2021 for $25,000 involving one tenant. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and upgrades, with no reported safety violations or serious building code issues in recent years.
