314-316 Utah St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-unit residential building at 314 Utah Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Priscella Diaz, is undergoing significant renovations throughout 2024, including major additions and interior improvements. Recent permitted work includes an approximately 400 sq ft addition to add a family room, study room, and bathroom in the garage area, and substantial remodeling of both units' kitchens and bathrooms with a budget of $546,001. The property has experienced some controversial construction activity in 2023, with multiple noise complaints and at least one serious complaint regarding damage to neighboring properties at 318-320 Utah Street, allegedly resulting in rodent issues and personal property damage.

The building's infrastructure is receiving comprehensive upgrades, including new furnaces and HVAC systems, electrical panel improvements, and plumbing repiping work completed in late 2023. Earlier structural work was performed in 2023 with the installation of new concrete foundations and wood shearwalls. Historical records show previous foundation work in 2010 and some electrical system upgrades, though two electrical permits from that period were cancelled. The property has maintained a two-unit classification since at least 2023, and recent permits have been properly documented through various building, plumbing, and electrical permits.

There have been recurring issues with construction-related disturbances this year, with multiple noise complaints filed between May and July 2023. The building has also required attention to exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding tree maintenance and debris concerns in late 2023 and 2024. Historical records indicate some fire safety concerns in 2014 and 2016 that were promptly addressed, showing generally responsive property management to regulatory matters. All recent permits related to the ongoing renovations have been issued properly, with the exception of some historical permits from 2010 that were cancelled.
