160 Yale St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The Kwong Family Trust owns this two-unit multi-family residential building located at 160 Yale St in Portola, constructed in 1974. The property has undergone numerous renovations and faced several compliance issues over the past decade.

Notable improvements include a complete reroofing in 2018 ($15,000), the legalization of an unauthorized ground floor dwelling unit and kitchen in 2016-2017 ($20,000), significant window and door modifications in 2016 ($30,000), and a substantial second-floor kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2014 ($33,000). The building experienced a violation notice in late 2014 regarding unpermitted window installations and possible illegal units, which was ultimately resolved by June 2015 through the proper legalization process. The property has received various upgrades, including a solar PV installation in 2014 (3.57 kW system), window replacements, and interior remodels.

However, there have been some ongoing concerns, with the most recent complaint filed in September 2020 regarding an unauthorized canopy installation with fire safety concerns, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. Multiple recent 311 calls (2024-2025) have been logged for various issues, including illegal parking, pavement defects, and a recent complaint in December 2024 regarding possibly unauthorized construction or work beyond permit scope, which was transferred for further tracking. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and compliance with most building codes, though there have been instances requiring retroactive legalization of modifications, primarily focused on ground floor improvements and unit configuration.
