431-433 Hoffman Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 431-433 Hoffman Avenue in Noe Valley is a 1-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by the R Gene Geisler Revocable Trust. The building has undergone substantial renovations in recent years, with the most significant work occurring between 2021 and 2024. In 2022, a major $350,000 renovation was completed, including the remodeling of two kitchens and bathrooms, installation of new furnaces and water heaters, and interior wall repairs. This work followed an earlier complaint filed in December 2021 regarding construction that exceeded the scope of permitted kitchen/bathroom remodeling, with reports of complete gutting and installation of new floor framing and stairs.

The renovation project subsequently received proper revisions and approvals, including the addition of a rear stair and modifications to the interior layout. Since 2022, the building has seen continued improvements, including the installation of new furnaces and ductwork in September 2023, new plumbing systems including tankless water heaters, and comprehensive electrical work including replacement of knob-and-tube wiring. Most recently, in January 2024, additional walls were added to create a bedroom and closet space, with supporting electrical work completed shortly thereafter. The property has had several historical records of improvement work, including a 2012 gas houseline extension and multiple kitchen and bathroom renovations.

In August 2021, there was a tenant buyout recorded for $81,800 involving one tenant. The most recent planning records indicate a closed OTC approval to legalize previously installed stairs and replace lightwell windows and skylights, along with general interior tenant improvements. The building's maintenance and improvement history suggests ongoing investment in the property, with most recent permits focusing on completing interior modifications and system upgrades. The property has transitioned from the 2021 renovation complaint to receiving proper permits and approvals for subsequent work, with no active violations currently on record.
