151-153 Bartlett St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 151-153 Bartlett Street in the Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Du Lui, has undergone significant recent improvements and faced some maintenance challenges since 2023. Most notably, there was unauthorized construction in 2021 that required subsequent legalization in 2023, involving the conversion of ground floor spaces at 151 Bartlett into part of the top floor unit, for which the owner paid $25,000 to remedy. The property has seen major infrastructure upgrades, including a $55,000 voluntary ground floor strengthening project in 2021, installation of a heat pump system with four wall-mounted units in 2023, and a 200-amp electrical upgrade with meter relocation in late 2023.

Currently, there are ongoing improvements, including a third-floor interior remodel (kitchen and wall work) with associated plumbing and electrical updates, valued at over $107,000. The building has experienced several safety-related incidents and maintenance issues that warrant attention. There have been three fire alarm system malfunctions recorded, though fortunately with no civilian injuries.

Multiple plumbing and electrical permits have been issued and completed or canceled throughout 2023 and into 2024, indicating active maintenance of building systems. The property has also dealt with various exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti (both residential and commercial), general cleaning needs, and curb defects in 2023-2024. While most of these cases have been resolved, they reflect ongoing challenges with building upkeep and neighborhood interactions. A planning record review in 2023 indicated no secondary unit (UDU) found at the property.
