160-162 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 160-162 Noe Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Jrm Financial Llc, has undergone significant recent activity following a period of serious maintenance issues. Built in 1907, this two-story flats & duplex structure experienced multiple Vacant Building Ordinance violations between 2020 and 2023, with complaints about exterior maintenance, security, and being a public nuisance. These violations, along with tenant complaints about mold, plumbing issues, and water damage in early 2023, were eventually resolved by September 2024.

The property is currently undergoing substantial renovations, with permitted work including comprehensive unit remodels (kitchens, bathrooms, and interior reconfigurations), seismic strengthening with new steel columns and beams, plumbing system upgrades including new heat pump water heaters and sewer lines, and complete electrical rewiring with new service installations, all estimated to cost over $600,000 combined. The building's recent activity suggests a focused effort to address past deficiencies and modernize the property. Current improvements include roof work scheduled for early 2025 costing $27,305, structural upgrades to the rear volume, addition of rear decks, window modifications, and various interior improvements.

Historical issues included a cancelled major renovation project in 2019 (costing $655,100) and a dry rot repair in 2004. Recent 311 calls regarding the property primarily concern graffiti and debris, though many have been resolved promptly. The building's status has improved significantly over the past year, with 2024 marking a period of active construction and resolution of prior compliance issues, as evidenced by multiple permits and the abatement of previous violations.
