290-294 Liberty St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 290-294 Liberty Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Richard & Camilla R Newhage. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent major renovation occurring in 2019 involving the installation of five new Marvin wood casement windows at a cost of $15,700. Earlier improvements include a substantial renovation in 2001 costing $92,000 that included lowering floors in two ground-level rooms, bathroom remodeling, and laundry room updates.

The property's electrical infrastructure was significantly updated in 2002-2003 with the installation of an underground service conversion with 200A service and two meters, as well as a comprehensive basement remodel including multiple systems and safety features. The property has experienced some recent challenges with noise disturbances, particularly in June 2024, with multiple entertainment-related noise complaints recorded through 311 calls. Historical maintenance records show regular upkeep of windows, including a 2010 retrofit and a 2009 replacement of six windows at the back of the house.

The building's electrical system was modernized in the early 2000s with substantial work done to accommodate multiple furnaces, kilns, and other systems. Various city service requests and 311 calls from 2016 to 2024 have primarily concerned street-related issues, lighting maintenance, and cleaning matters in the immediate vicinity of the building rather than direct building concerns. Planning records show attempts to modify rear yard features including a driveway, carport, and trellises, though these proposals were disapproved.
