153-155 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 153-155 Noe Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Brian Byunggook Lee, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1900. Most notably, in 2017, there were multiple unit renovations including unauthorized kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring replacements, and a gas fireplace installation in Unit 97. The building has received proper attention to essential systems, with recent improvements including reroofing work in 2017 costing $22,740, termite repairs in early 2017, and HVAC upgrades including a new furnace installation and electrical panel relocation.

A significant garage conversion project was completed in 2004-2005, which included fire sprinkler installation and a new electrical meter system. The property has experienced some maintenance issues requiring attention from city services, particularly regarding street cleaning and waste management, with multiple 311 calls in the past year related to garbage, debris, and abandoned items. The building's history includes two smoke detector malfunctions as recorded by fire services, though no civilian injuries were reported in either incident.

Multiple unauthorized rental activity complaints have been filed and subsequently closed as "Abated," suggesting enforcement action was taken against illegal short-term rentals operating from various units. While the majority of building permits have been properly managed and completed, there is one cancelled electrical permit from 2018 related to garage ventilation. Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing urban challenges in the immediate vicinity, including parking violations and litter concerns, though these are typical for the neighborhood and not specifically related to building conditions.
