81-83 Alvarado St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 81-83 Alvarado St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Lam Family Trust. The building's most significant structural history includes a 1989 permit (now expired) for the removal of an illegal ground floor unit and subsequent legalization of the building's current configuration. The property experienced notable plumbing infrastructure issues in late 2019, requiring both street-level sewer repairs and approximately 20 feet of indoor sewer line replacement, which were successfully completed.

The building's maintenance and incident history reveals several plumbing challenges in 2019, including sewage system problems that required multiple service calls and investigation of possible offsets in the system. More recent service records show regular municipal interactions, primarily involving street cleaning and parking enforcement matters. Noteworthy external incidents include two noise complaints related to mechanical equipment in 2017-2018 and reports of loose garbage on the street in mid-2020.

The property has been subject to three parking enforcement actions between 2020-2022, involving vehicles blocking driveways or parked illegally, though these occurred in public spaces rather than on the property itself. The most recent interaction with city services involved the pickup of an abandoned Christmas tree in January 2023. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly with its plumbing systems, all documented work has been properly completed, and there have been no recorded safety violations or building code infractions in recent years.
