237-239 Chattanooga St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 237-239 Chattanooga Street in Noe Valley is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1885, currently owned by Mackenzie Neil. The property has undergone significant renovations in recent years, most notably the creation of an ADU in 2021-2023, which included new rear deck construction and various basement modifications. The building has experienced multiple foundation and structural improvements, including repairs to the front yard retaining wall foundation in 2024 (cost: $10,000) and plumbing upgrades including installation of a shower pan and comprehensive plumbing work for bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facilities in 2023.

The property has a history of compliance with safety standards, including the recent installation of an overhead automatic fire sprinkler system (2023-2024), although there were subsequent revisions to eliminate fire sprinkling from the scope of work in late 2023. Earlier structural work included a complete reroofing in 2018 (cost: $30,000) and various foundation repairs in 2022 (cost: $16,000). A minor building complaint was filed in 2008 regarding unpermitted remodeling of kitchens and baths, though this complaint is no longer active. Recent exterior maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and waste management, but these are typical municipal service requests and do not indicate structural or safety concerns.

The property's permit history suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, with particular attention to safety improvements such as fire systems and structural stability. The building's location and improvements have been subject to standard urban maintenance issues, including occasional garbage/debris concerns and parking violations, all of which were resolved through normal city processes. The recent series of permits and inspections indicates active management and upgrading of the property, with particular focus on improving living conditions through modern amenities while addressing historical structural issues. The property has maintained compliance with building codes through regular inspections and permit requirements, with no reported safety violations or significant resident complaints in recent years.
