16 Hale St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 16 Hale Street in the Portola neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building, constructed in 2008 under the ownership of Zhao Wei Jian. The building was erected with a $500,000 budget and completed its initial construction phase successfully. In 2008, significant modifications were made to Unit 16, including the addition of a full bathroom on the second floor, reconfiguration of bathroom access, and revisions to the kitchen layout, with these improvements costing $11,000.

The building's infrastructure was further developed in 2008 with comprehensive plumbing work covering multiple units and including three restrooms, kitchen facilities, and a washer/dryer hookup. Electrical installations were completed with the installation of a 200-amp service and wiring for the entire building, including Ufer ground work. The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure-related issues over the years, with the most recent concern being a sewer issue reported in September 2023 that was resolved by the Public Utilities Commission's Sewer Operations team.

While the building's structural and utility systems appear to be sound based on permit records, there have been recurring issues with street cleanliness and waste management in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2017 and 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and waste receptacle management. A damaged tree incident was reported and resolved in March 2019, and there have been two recent graffiti removal incidents (December 2024). The property management has generally addressed issues as they arise, with most recent cases being resolved through appropriate city services.
