371-373 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 371-373 Noe Street, owned by Vijay & Sheena Vaidyanathan, is a 2-story flats/duplex structure built in 1900 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2017-2018, the building underwent substantial improvements including the replacement of 14 windows, structural reinforcements, full bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, and comprehensive electrical rewiring.

This work was initiated in response to multiple housing violations from 2016 regarding deteriorated pipes, water damage, window leaks, and heating issues. In 2021, rear stair repairs were completed, though this followed previous complaints about stairs dating back to 2000. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent issues with plumbing and drainage systems, particularly regarding rainwater management.

There have been multiple complaints about clogged rainwater systems, most recently documented in 2019, and earlier issues with gutters dating back to 2001. The property has also experienced various housing violations over the years, including problems with heating, window condition, and water damage, though all violations have been marked as abated. Recent maintenance work included the installation of new furnaces and plumbing updates, suggesting ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the building's systems. More recent concerns documented through 311 calls relate to external issues such as graffiti, medical waste, and sidewalk cleaning matters, which are more related to the property's location rather than internal building conditions.
