51-53 Chattanooga St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 51-53 Chattanooga Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a 1929 two-story flats and duplex structure currently owned by Mara Jane Sieling. The building underwent significant maintenance in 2019 with a complete reroofing project costing $20,000.

Recent infrastructure concerns have been notable, particularly with recurring sewer system issues - there have been four documented sewage backup incidents (in 2023, 2022, and 2021) involving the 4-inch sewer vent, which suggest an ongoing plumbing system challenge. The property has also experienced other maintenance issues, including a sidewalk defect in 2022 (which was resolved with no further action needed), a water main leak in 2018, and a medical waste incident involving needles in 2020 that was addressed by city services.

The building's history includes several incidents unrelated to the property condition, such as parking enforcement matters (three separate cases of abandoned vehicles in 2016 and 2018), though all were resolved when vehicles were found to be gone upon inspection. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, particularly with the significant investment in the roofing system in 2019. While the recurring sewer issues represent the most pressing structural concern in recent years, the building has not had any documented safety violations or major system failures in the available records.
