406-410 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 406-410 Noe Street, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Galu Realty LLC, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over its history. Most notably, the building completed mandatory FEMA seismic upgrades in 2014, including a ground-level seismic improvement project costing $80,000 and the installation of Ufer ground electrical systems. The property experienced a serious fire incident in 2007 affecting the fourth floor, particularly Unit 410A, which required approximately $50,000 in repairs to address fire and water damage, including work on siding and roof framing.

The building underwent substantial electrical system upgrades in 2008, including the replacement of FPE equipment with Arc Fault breakers and installation of new smoke detectors throughout all units. Recent activities indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance work, with the most recent building violations from March 2023 focusing on requirements for smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and weatherproofing of the building's siding, though these were subsequently abated by August 2023. The building is classified as a "Tier 3" soft-story structure, and while work has been completed with a Certificate of Final Completion issued, it shows continued attention to structural stability.

Historical maintenance issues have included repairs for dry rot in 1999 and various building safety inspections throughout the years that have identified issues such as stair safety concerns and weatherproofing needs. The most recent inspections have primarily focused on general maintenance and compliance with current safety standards, indicating active management's response to regulatory requirements. The building's 311 call history from 2022-2024 shows periodic issues with debris and parking violations in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself.
