474-476 Alvarado St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 474-476 Alvarado Street in Noe Valley is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently under the ownership of Kevin J Allison Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, including multiple window replacements (with the most recent in 2013 involving 8 windows with street-visible upgrades to Anderson wood windows) and three complete roof replacements (1990, 2008). More recent infrastructure improvements include a trenchless sewer replacement in 2016 and water heater replacement that same year.

However, the property has experienced recurring sewer-related issues, with notable incidents in March 2021 and August 2024 involving sewage discharge from the side sewer vent, which required municipal intervention. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, though there have been some concerning patterns in recent years. These include multiple incidents of street cleaning needs, including reports of human/animal waste and garbage in 2021, and more recent sanitation requests in 2024.

A noise complaint was filed in March 2023, and there was a sewage backup incident reported in March 2021, which was addressed by city services. The most recent building permits on record, from 2016, show attention to both exterior and functional aspects of the property, including street space usage and essential systems updates. While the building appears to be maintained regularly with major systems upgraded over time, the recurring sewer issues and some recent sanitation concerns suggest these areas may require ongoing attention.
