4259-4261 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 4259-4261 24th Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade. The most substantial work occurred in 2012, when a $150,000 third-floor roof expansion and bathroom remodel were completed, including installation of new interior stairs and extension of existing exterior spiral stairs to a deck. Subsequent updates in late 2013 and early 2014 focused on modernizing the second-floor kitchen and bathrooms, with additional plumbing work including hot water heater flue extension in July 2014.

The building has also seen various electrical improvements, including wiring for the third-floor addition in 2013 and electrical installations in 2008. Recent maintenance issues have emerged in 2024, with multiple reports of water leaks (three separate incidents), sidewalk defects attributed to tree root lifting, and one instance of garbage/ debris removal. There are currently two open issues: a sidewalk defect reported in November 2024 and a driveway blocking complaint from January 2024.

The property underwent necessary permitting processes, including a variance approval in 2012 for rear yard and open space requirements related to staircase alterations, which was approved with no associated developer information. While there have been multiple street space permits issued over the years, these appear to be routine and low-cost ($1.00 each) and not indicative of any major concerns. The building's recent history shows a pattern of moderate maintenance and improvement work, with particular attention paid to updating residential facilities and addressing structural elements.
