168-170 Henry St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 168-170 Henry Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a 1904 structure currently owned by the Vermeil-von Schiber Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past few decades, with major work occurring between 2004-2012. The most substantial renovation took place in 2004, involving an extensive $90,000 project to extend the lower unit, reconfigure bathrooms and kitchens, and modify decks and stairs.

Subsequent improvements included facade repairs, window replacements, and porch work in 2012 ($15,000), and earlier modifications in 2005 that added doors and a deck. The building has experienced recurring issues with water leakage and structural maintenance, as evidenced by a 2007 deck replacement for leak repair ($1,000) and multiple complaints about construction-related disturbances in 2005. More recent history (2018-2021) shows primarily street-level issues around the property, including multiple reports of pavement defects, encampments, and some parking concerns.

These external issues have all been resolved through normal city processes. The building's systems have received regular maintenance attention, with electrical upgrades documented in 2005, though one electrical permit from April 2005 was cancelled. Historical records from the 1980s show typical maintenance work for older buildings, including roof shingling and dry rot repairs at the front stairs and base. The property has maintained an active permit record, with all documented building permits marked as complete, suggesting that approved work has been properly finished.
