334-336 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 334-336 Noe Street property is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently managed by Coughlin Capital Ba Real Es. The building has undergone significant improvements and faced various challenges over the past several years, with the most recent major work being a kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit 4 (completed January 2023) and ongoing updates to the fire alarm system (September 2023).

Notable historical improvements include a mandatory soft story retrofit completed in 2017 (Tier 3), a comprehensive 2022 voluntary system replacement to meet current fire code requirements, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades throughout the building. The property has experienced several concerning incidents, particularly between 2018-2020, including multiple plumbing issues, water heater replacement problems, and a series of complaints regarding fumes and air quality in 2020 that resulted in tenant evacuations from Units 1 and 2. These air quality issues were documented with air quality tests showing elevated levels of TVOC and formaldehyde.

The building has also faced several fire safety violations, particularly in 2017, related to blocked exits, alarm systems, and extinguishers, though all these issues were subsequently corrected. Recent improvements have focused on modernizing the building's systems and addressing historical maintenance issues, including the installation of motion sensor lights, new laundry facilities, and various unit upgrades. While there have been recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property (as evidenced by recent 311 calls), most building violations have been addressed and resolved through proper permits and corrective actions.
