442-444 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-family residential building at 442-444 Noe Street, owned by the Chu Family Trust, is a 1913 flats and duplex structure located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations over the past decade, with major work completed in 2013 including interior remodeling of both units, kitchen and bathroom updates, the addition of a new bathroom, and voluntary seismic upgrades totaling approximately $88,000.

Additional improvements included the installation of new interior stairs connecting all levels, updated electrical systems with comprehensive fixture installations, and plumbing modifications including gas fireplace additions. More recent developments include a pending remodeling project (filed in October 2024) involving modifications to the first floor lightwell, scullery/pantry conversion to a bathroom, kitchen remodeling, and bedroom addition. The building has had two complaints filed under Housing Inspection Services: one in 2018 regarding an allegedly illegal fireplace and another in 1999 about suspected commercial use of the garage, though both complaints are no longer active.

The property has experienced various maintenance and service issues over recent years, including sidewalk defects, tree concerns, and periodic street cleaning needs, all of which have been resolved through appropriate channels. Recent 311 calls (2024-2016) have primarily involved external issues such as tree maintenance, graffiti, and general street cleaning rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent permit activity as of November 2024 is focused on obtaining final inspections for previously approved work from 2013-2014, suggesting that many of the earlier improvements have been completed.
