156 Hancock St, San Francisco, CA 94114

156 Hancock St is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1972, currently owned by Ghilarducci Enterprises LLC and located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building's maintenance history shows some significant attention to safety features, particularly a 2019 permit addressing the removal of three rotted balconies at the rear and installation of new guardrails at sliding glass doors, which indicates proactive management of structural concerns.

The building has undergone regular housing inspections in 2001 and 2007, though no recent inspections appear in the records until a general building inspection request in June 2024. Recent issues requiring city intervention suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, with a notable incident in July 2023 involving a sewage backup requiring PUC Sewer Operations involvement. The property has also experienced some environmental concerns, with hazardous materials incidents reported in January 2024 and January 2021, though both were resolved.

Other reported issues primarily relate to external factors affecting the property, including tree maintenance (May 2021), street cleaning needs (multiple instances in 2021 and 2020), and parking violations (two citations issued in 2020-2021). A sewage vent issue was also documented and resolved in July 2023. The most recent building inspection request in June 2024 and the balcony safety improvements in 2019 are the only building-specific work noted in recent years, with other complaints primarily relating to external conditions rather than building structure or systems.
