136-144 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 9-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 136-144 Noe Street in the Duboce Triangle, owned by Ceibo 11 LLC and constructed in 1900, has a significant history of recent construction activity and current building violations. Most notably, there are active complaints from November 2024 regarding unauthorized kitchen and bathroom remodeling work, with associated drywall replacement in hallways and bedrooms.

These unauthorized modifications have triggered an active violation case (202431292) and required subsequent permit application (#202412207203) with a proposed scope of work including removal of non-load bearing partitions, kitchen remodeling, and bathroom additions. The building has also faced several safety and maintenance issues in 2023-2024, including violations related to fire escape maintenance, gas shutoff tool requirements, and various fire safety compliance filings, all of which remain active. The property has undergone substantial interior improvements over the past decade, with multiple completed renovation projects between 2015-2017 costing between $60,000 and $200,000, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work.

Historical issues include a pattern of water-related problems in the 1990s, with complaints about roof leaks and flooding, as well as more recent fire safety concerns in 2022 regarding combustible materials and blocked exits (both of which were corrected). The building's recent construction work has generated multiple tenant complaints about noise and lack of proper notice to residents (November 2024), and there were two significant tenant buyouts in 2016 and 2018, though no buyouts are recorded for 144 Noe Street. The property has received multiple 311 calls in 2023-2025 related to garbage, construction noise, and a sewer service request, indicating ongoing maintenance and management challenges.
