356-358 Elizabeth St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 356-358 Elizabeth Street in Noe Valley, owned by John P. McGlynn, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1900. The property has seen substantial improvements between 2009 and 2017, including the installation of a full fire sprinkler system, comprehensive electrical rewiring, solar panel installations, and extensive plumbing work. Notable recent maintenance includes the replacement of a 50-gallon gas water heater in June 2024.

The building underwent major modifications in the early 2010s, including changes to interior partition framing, window replacements, and the addition of a third-floor mansard roof structure. Multiple building permits were issued and subsequently completed during this period, with the most recent electrical work involving whole-house improvements in 2017. Several permits from the 2012-2014 period were either expired or required additional work to obtain final inspections, including solar system installations, furnace replacements, and bathroom remodels. There were three building complaints filed over the past two decades, primarily concerning construction-related issues, though these were resolved within weeks of filing.

The property has experienced multiple parking enforcement calls in 2024, though officers were generally unable to locate the reported violations. Planning records show various approved applications for structural modifications, including requests for rear yard and usable open space variances, indicating ongoing efforts to enhance the property's living space. The building's documented history reflects a pattern of regular maintenance and substantial upgrading of systems and amenities, with particular attention to improving safety features like fire sprinklers and solar energy systems. The recent replacement of the water heater in 2024 suggests continued upkeep of essential building infrastructure. While there have been some permit compliance issues in the past, these appear to have been addressed promptly, and no active complaints are currently on file.
