16 Hill St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 16 Hill Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood is a 2-story structure built in 1900, currently owned by Eric and Holly Featherston. The property has experienced several significant events over its history, with particular focus on recent concerns regarding the historic fence. Between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple complaints about unauthorized modifications to the historic front fence of the Article 10 property, which is a designated historic resource within the Liberty Hill Historic District.

These complaints documented the partial removal of the historic fence and gate, with the most recent complaint filed in July 2019 noting ongoing violations of historic district regulations. The building has a history of permit activity related to structural and safety compliance, including a notable permit from 1992 to legalize an addition to the fire escape and various permits in the early 1990s addressing dry rot issues and building code compliance. More recent building permits include a street space-related permit from 2017, though most older permits from the 1980s and 1990s have either expired or were cancelled. The property has generated numerous service calls in recent years, primarily concerning street cleanliness and parking issues, with the most recent incidents related to garbage and debris removal in late 2024.

There have been several sidewalk cleaning calls, including reports of hazardous materials like glass in 2021. A 2018 pavement defect was resolved, indicating attention to street infrastructure. While the historic fence removal and associated complaints spanned 2018-2019, the absence of recent complaints regarding this issue may suggest either resolution or reduced monitoring. The property's recent service calls primarily relate to exterior maintenance and parking concerns rather than structural or safety issues, though there remains one open request from October 2023 regarding an overgrown tree requiring pruning.
