4470-4472 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 4470-4472 24th Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1965 and currently owned by George J & Sophia H Fonti. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over recent years, with the most recent being the installation of a metal spiral stairway and fire escape guardrail modifications in February 2023, and a window installation in June 2022.

Between June 2022 and December 2022, substantial window replacements were completed throughout the building, totaling 18 windows and 2 patio doors. Notably, the building experienced foundation-related issues in 2018-2019, which were addressed through emergency shoring and underpinning work totaling $45,000 in early 2019, following two Notices of Violation regarding soil movement and walkway collapse concerns. The building has maintained active compliance with safety regulations, as evidenced by the resolution of a sprinkler/standpipe systems issue in late 2022.

Despite some recent maintenance concerns in the surrounding area (as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding tree issues, graffiti, and noise), the building itself appears to be in stable condition with no active violations or complaints on record. The property has undergone several improvements to enhance safety and accessibility, including the recent spiral stairway addition, which was approved with a variance request stating it minimally encroached into the rear yard setback. While there were some significant structural issues in 2018-2019, these have been properly addressed through appropriate engineering work and permits.
