The property at 530-532 Elizabeth Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by the Goettner-Shmunes Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive renovation in 2022 that included kitchen remodeling, fireplace replacement with a new gas direct-vent system, and electrical upgrades totaling $95,000. Additional recent work includes the replacement of a street-facing window in December 2022, and most notably, in April 2024, the installation of a new high-efficiency boiler system with radiant floor heating, replacing a failed boiler system from 2017.

The building has also seen sustainable upgrades, including the installation of a solar PV system in 2004 and an electric vehicle charger in 2011. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges over the years, with records showing multiple boiler replacements (2017 and 2024) and some plumbing work related to system failures. A notable sewer issue occurred in May 2015 involving a 4-inch sewer vent problem that was subsequently resolved.

The building's history includes two concerning incidents involving medical waste (needles) on nearby property in December 2013, though these were resolved through city intervention. While there was a planning investigation regarding the possible removal of a legal unit, the case was closed as abated. The most recent building permit activity suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems, with particular attention to safety features like fireplaces and modern amenities like EV charging.
