221 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

221 Noe St is a 4-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Abhishek Sharma. The building has undergone significant renovations and safety improvements over the past two decades, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $220,000, which included seismic upgrades, electrical bonding, and fire safety improvements. Between 2008 and 2010, the property underwent extensive unit upgrades including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system updates (including new sub-panels), and plumbing improvements across multiple units, with costs totaling over $300,000.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety inspections, with the most recent documented fire alarm system inspection in late 2021. Historical complaints from 1997-2003 indicate periods of maintenance and safety issues, including a dangerous deck incident in 1998, multiple complaints about inadequate ventilation, plumbing problems, and various interior maintenance issues, though all these historical violations were ultimately abated by March 2004. The building's recent history shows proper maintenance of safety systems, including regular fire alarm and extinguisher inspections.

Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti and sidewalk cleaning, which were addressed by city services. The property was subject to Ellis Act tenancy issues in units 4, 8, and 11, with records showing allegations of unauthorized short-term rentals beginning in 2013, though these matters are now closed. Current maintenance and safety compliance appear to be up to date, with no active violations or complaints on record.
