497 Elizabeth St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 497 Elizabeth Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Eric Anschutz. The building's history reveals several noteworthy events, with the most significant being a cluster of building violations in 2001 related to structural concerns, including issues with windows, stairs, exterior fence, and weatherproofing of siding. These violations were eventually abated by July 2002.

In 2007, there were plans for substantial improvements including attic remodeling, bathroom and bedroom additions, and basement modifications for parking, along with the installation of a new electrical panel and duplex meter, though these plans were ultimately canceled. The building underwent reroofing in 2008 at a cost of $11,500. More recent concerns include ongoing issues with the building's surroundings, particularly the sidewalk area, with reports of lifting sidewalks in 2024 attributed to tree roots.

There have been multiple street space permits issued over the years, with the most recent in 2019, suggesting regular use of public space for building-related activities. The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls about blocked driveways and illegal parking between 2020 and 2022. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to exterior upkeep, with various repairs and improvements made over the years, though the recurrence of sidewalk issues and parking disruptions indicates ongoing challenges in the immediate area.
