231-233 Hoffman Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 231-233 Hoffman Avenue in Noe Valley is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1918, currently owned by the Wang & Gamez Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced some notable regulatory challenges over the years. In the mid-1980s, substantial foundation work was completed including a front foundation replacement, stucco repairs, and addressing dry rot issues with fire wall improvements - all of which were successfully completed.

During this period, the front house also received exterior improvements with a conversion from stucco to redwood siding. In 1998, the building experienced two complaints regarding an illegal basement unit, which became a particular focus for housing inspection services. While these complaints were eventually abated, they were officially recorded as housing violations.

More recently, a specific modification was made to convert a kitchen into a recreation room, and there was an attempt to replace a staircase and deck at the back of the house, though records indicate this particular permit was cancelled in 1985. The most recent recorded interaction with municipal services was a routine water service request to the Public Utilities Commission in January 2013, which was resolved through case transfer. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing structural issues in the 1980s, with more recent modifications being primarily cosmetic or usage-based, though the earlier illegal unit complaints suggest historical concerns about unauthorized modifications.
