57-59 Homestead St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 57-59 Homestead Street in Noe Valley is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Laughlin Scott & Sellke Car. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over its history, with the most recent major work occurring in 2017 when underpinning was completed to accommodate excavation at a neighboring property, costing $20,000. Other notable improvements include comprehensive interior remodeling in the 1980s (including plaster and lath repairs, sheetrock installation, and other renovations), legalizing the two-unit configuration in 1987, and gas line extensions in 2012.

The building's systems received attention through various maintenance work, including a furnace replacement in 2011 and dryrot repairs in 1987. The property has experienced numerous parking-related issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about vehicles blocking driveways and parking violations between 2020 and 2023, including a resolved citation in November 2022. There have also been two abandoned vehicle reports near the property in 2021 and 2022, though these were not directly related to the building itself.

Infrastructure concerns in the vicinity included a burnt-out streetlight in 2021 (which was promptly resolved) and a temporary permit issue with an unauthorized portable toilet in 2019. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and adherence to building codes, with no recorded safety violations or urgent repairs in the past several years. While the property has experienced typical urban neighborhood issues such as parking violations and street maintenance concerns, these are communal rather than building-specific problems.
