884-886 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 884-886 Alabama Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Liu Neil Ningbo, has undergone significant changes since its 1900 construction. Most notably, between 2015-2016, the property underwent substantial remediation work following a series of building code violations filed in August 2015 that documented numerous safety concerns, including unauthorized unit conversions, inadequate fire safety features, electrical and plumbing issues, and general maintenance deficiencies.

In 2016, the illegal unit was removed, and the building was converted to compliant two-family dwelling status, with subsequent renovations including foundation upgrades, full unit remodels, and installation of proper heating and electrical systems. Recent improvements include a complete reroofing project completed in 2023 at a cost of $42,860, along with various infrastructure upgrades such as HVAC replacement and electrical rewiring in 2018-2019.

The building's renovation history shows consistent maintenance and modernization efforts, particularly during the 2016-2018 period when multiple permits were issued for comprehensive improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels, insulation upgrades, and structural strengthening. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property and its surroundings in 2024, these primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk maintenance and garbage disposal, rather than building-specific code violations or safety concerns. The property's historical records show the removal of an illegal unit in 2016 as a significant corrective action, followed by substantial investments in building systems and infrastructure, suggesting an ongoing commitment to maintaining the property's compliance with current building codes and standards.
