474-476 Elizabeth St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 474-476 Elizabeth Street in Noe Valley, owned by Nicholas M Chapin and Henry Kri, is a two-story structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced some regulatory challenges over its history. In 2002, both units received substantial improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels, with a reported cost of $80,000.

Earlier, in 1997, the building underwent dry rot and termite repairs. A notable series of building violations occurred in February 2012 relating to improper lead paint containment and cleanup during renovation work, with multiple citations issued under San Francisco Building Code Section 3423.4, all of which were abated by February 8, 2012. That same month, there were complaints about unauthorized fence construction exceeding 6 feet in height without proper permits.

A fire alarm was activated in the building at some point, but the situation was determined to be unintentional with no injuries reported. More recently, in June 2016, there was a report of hazardous materials (glass) on the property that was resolved by DPW Ops. The most recent activity on record occurred in January 2025, relating to a sidewalk parking violation that resulted in a citation. The building's permit history shows several applications between 1991 and 2011, including a street space permit issued in 2011 and multiple permits related to an internal stair construction project in 1991-1992, though the original 1991 permit expired.
