580-582 Elizabeth St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 580-582 Elizabeth Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1904 and currently owned by Hans J & Linda S Jue 2003 R. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements over the past two decades, with a notable focus on seismic strengthening. Most recently, in March 2020, there was a revision to remove tieback anchors and install bracing related to excavation work on the adjacent property at 578 Elizabeth Street.

In 2019, a concrete buttress wall was constructed at the east foundation as part of voluntary strengthening efforts. Earlier structural work included the completion of a buttress wall at the west retaining wall in 2006 to address lateral load concerns, and multiple permits in 2004-2005 for various improvements including bathroom remodels and electrical work in both units. The property has experienced some maintenance and infrastructure challenges over the years, particularly with sewer issues.

There were two separate sewage backup incidents reported in January 2013, though these were addressed by PUC Sewer Operations. In May 2020, there was a water leak reported from the garage area, though this was determined to be a private property issue not under Water Department jurisdiction. More recently, in 2023-2024, there have been typical urban maintenance issues such as graffiti (October 2023), a garbage and debris complaint (July 2024), and a driveway blocking incident (March 2024). The building's recent history shows consistent attention to structural safety and modernization, particularly focusing on seismic requirements, while also experiencing common urban maintenance challenges.
