176-180 Langton St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story multi-family residential building at 176-180 Langton Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, currently owned by Keri A Carpenter, has undergone significant recent improvements and has a rich maintenance history dating back to its 1911 construction. The property is currently undergoing substantial renovations, with permits issued in October 2024 for exterior repainting, rear fire escape maintenance, ground-floor deck repairs, and interior modifications including the creation of a new legal bedroom and kitchen updates, with work continuing into 2025 for plumbing and electrical upgrades.

Historical improvements include a complete reroofing in 2000, deck repairs in 2004, and stair repairs due to dry-rot in 1998. The building has experienced several inspection-related issues over the years, most notably a series of violations in 2008 related to security and safety requirements, including fire extinguisher maintenance and stair repairs, all of which were resolved by April 2008.

A complaint about unauthorized remodeling in 2004 was finally abated in 2012. More recent concerns have primarily involved exterior issues, with multiple 311 calls between 2023 and 2025 reporting various problems such as abandoned garbage, general cleaning needs, and encampment-related issues in the vicinity of the property. The most recent building permits and improvements suggest active management and maintenance of the property, with particular attention being paid to both exterior and interior improvements as of late 2024.
