557 Elizabeth St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 557 Elizabeth Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1886 and currently owned by the Christine H Dibella Trust. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep and repairs, with a reroofing project undertaken in 2022 using modified bitumen, which was properly permitted after initial complaints about lack of visible permits.

More significant structural issues were documented in 2007 when the Building Inspection Division responded to complaints regarding unpermitted construction work on the ground floor at the rear of the building, which revealed problems including rotted posts and framing. These violations were addressed through follow-up permits for repairs, including $7,000 worth of dryrot repairs under the porch area, with all violations officially abated by May 2009. The building's recent history shows proper maintenance of essential systems, including both water and sewer pipe replacements in 2007.

The recent reroofing work, while initially generating complaints about permit visibility, was ultimately completed with proper approval and oversight. Historical records from 2015 indicate a PG&E utility pole replacement project in the vicinity, and there have been occasional minor neighborhood issues recorded through 311 calls, including reports of illegal postings (2017), abandoned vehicles (2021), and one instance of construction equipment blocking a parking space (2009), though these were not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance. The property's violations and complaints have all been resolved through appropriate remediation and permits, with no active violations or complaints as of now.
