357-359 Texas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 357-359 Texas Street in Potrero Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past decades, with the most recent major upgrade being the installation of a 3.6 kW solar panel system in 2018, including 10 roof-mounted modules and an EV outlet. In 2015, the building received electrical upgrades including a new 100-amp main panel and kitchen rewiring to address violations.

A plumbing modernization in 2020 involved substantial work including the installation of a new clean-out and replacement of clay pipes with cast iron pipes. The property has had its share of maintenance issues, including a notable violation in 2005 regarding an unauthorized exterior staircase replacement that led to multiple notices of violation and a director hearing in 2013, though these were eventually abated. Other significant improvements include a reroofing project in 2015 ($17,620) and various interior updates such as a bathroom remodel in 2014, window and door replacements in 2012, and HVAC system upgrades including new water heaters and furnaces in 2012. The building's recent history shows generally responsible maintenance, with no active violations as of now.

The property has experienced standard urban issues such as sidewalk defects (2020), tree-related problems (2021), and occasional street cleaning needs. Multiple infrastructure improvements demonstrate ongoing maintenance commitment, including bathroom, kitchen, and plumbing system upgrades. The building's age and location in San Francisco have naturally resulted in various maintenance and upgrade needs over the years, but the record shows consistent attention to addressing these requirements. Recent work has focused on both modernizing the building's systems (including electrical and plumbing) and maintaining its structural integrity through appropriate permits and professional services.
