747-749 Naples St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-unit residential building at 747-749 Naples Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Elaine Liang, was constructed in 1912 and stands two stories tall as a flats/duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most substantial improvements occurring in 2008-2009, including the removal of an illegal basement kitchen and bathroom, installation of new kitchens and bathrooms, and comprehensive electrical wiring upgrades. These renovations, valued at approximately $35,000, included the installation of 50 lights, 40 switches, 60 receptacles, multiple appliances, and smoke detectors.

The building previously faced several challenges, including a concerning complaint in 1999 regarding heating issues, mildew, and structural concerns, as well as a potential illegal utility connection in 2008, though these issues appear to have been addressed. The property's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure needs, including termite work in 1986, a horizontal addition in 1991, and sewer system maintenance in 2012. More recently, in January 2024, there was a sewage backup issue that required attention.

The building has experienced periodic challenges with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple tickets issued for parking violations between 2024 and 2025, particularly regarding sidewalk blocking and driveway blocking. While these parking issues don't directly impact the building's habitability, they may affect resident access to the property. The most recent building-related services have focused on addressing parking concerns, with several citations issued in late 2024 and early 2025 for vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks.
