118 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 118 San Jose Ave in Noe Valley, owned by the Hsu Family Trust, has undergone significant recent activity since mid-2024. Most notably, there was a cluster of violations filed in July 2024 that included issues with damaged cabinets, walls, and countertops, as well as concerns about smoke detector compliance, kitchen sink repairs, and potential lead paint hazards. These violations were addressed and abated by December 2024.

The building has seen substantial maintenance work in 2024-2025, including electrical upgrades with new sub-panels, plumbing work in multiple units, and various interior repairs. Of particular concern was a mold complaint from January 2022 regarding Unit D, which documented growth in the bathroom affecting mattresses and surfaces. The most recent building activity has focused on general maintenance and compliance issues, with multiple permits issued for kitchen and bathroom improvements, including countertop, sink, and electrical work.

The building's history shows regular inspections and some routine maintenance needs, with violations from 1994 and 1993 being resolved, including a heating issue and two abatements. While recent improvements suggest active management of the property, the history of violations and maintenance issues indicates ongoing attention is required to maintain building standards. The property has generated multiple 311 calls primarily related to parking enforcement and general maintenance concerns during the past two years.
