232-236 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 232-236 San Jose Ave in Noe Valley is owned by the Melvin S Mann Revocable Trust and was constructed in 1908. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 1995, a major horizontal renovation costing $46,000 in the same year, and reroofing work in both 1997 and 2003.

More recently, in March 2012, there was an incident involving damaged electrical infrastructure when a debris box knocked into pipes and wires, causing short circuits - this was subsequently repaired. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, with documented incidents in September 2022 and January 2023, though these are parking enforcement matters rather than building-specific concerns.

Planning records show an interesting history of proposed changes to the property, including a disapproved application for a mental health center and an approved application to legalize a dwelling unit in the carriage house and configure parking in the rear yard. A cancelled permit from 1988 was related to the removal of a rear tool shed and its electrical wiring. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, particularly in the areas of fire safety and roofing, though the age of some of the permits (most recent being from 2012) might indicate the need for verification of current system conditions.
