178 Gates St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 178 Gates Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Ansary Mir Tamim & Krant De, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1907. The property has seen substantial modernization efforts in recent years, including the installation of a photovoltaic solar system in 2017 (3.06 kW), conversion to tankless gas water heating in 2016, and electrical service upgrade from overhead to underground in 2003. Other major historical improvements include the replacement of street-facing windows in 2014, kitchen remodeling in 1986, and foundation repairs in 1991.

The roof was addressed in 2002, though this permit is now expired, and partition walls were added to create additional space in the basement in 1992. The property has recently experienced multiple parking-related issues, with 11 reports of abandoned vehicles between March and November 2024, though most vehicles were gone upon inspection. There have been two documented cases of driveway blocking in March and May 2024, with at least one resulting in an issued citation.

A color curb complaint was addressed in November 2024, and a noise complaint related to the Portola festival in September 2024 was found to be compliant with sound limits. While these recent issues primarily relate to street parking rather than building conditions, they suggest ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the immediate area. The building itself, however, appears well-maintained based on the record of recent improvements and completed permits.
