4056-4058 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 4056-4058 23rd Street in Noe Valley is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Berti Davis Family Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past two decades, including a complete reroofing in March 2023 (cost: $11,000) and a water line replacement in October 2016 due to corrosion issues. In 2014, substantial work was performed to replace dry-rotted and termite-damaged front stairs, restoring the original structure with proper wood construction (cost: $15,000).

The building has had multiple housing inspections, with notable violations in 2002 related to fire safety and security that were all resolved by July 2002, including issues with fire proofing, fire extinguisher maintenance, flammable storage, and exterior door self-closing devices. A routine inspection in 2011 identified problems with fire extinguisher tagging that were promptly addressed. The property has experienced recurring issues with the sidewalk area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024 regarding tree root damage, sidewalk defects, and other maintenance concerns.

These external issues are currently represented by an open sidewalk defect case (accepted 09/19/2024) regarding lifted sidewalk tree roots. The building's recent maintenance record shows proper upkeep of major systems, with attention to safety regulations being addressed as they arise. The most recent external issues appear to be primarily related to the sidewalk area rather than the building structure itself, indicating ongoing maintenance needs in the public right-of-way areas around the property.
