217-223 Jersey St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 217-223 Jersey Street in Noe Valley is a 2-story structure built in 1902, currently owned by Brian C & Erica C Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (with an initial cost of $60,000) to enhance seismic safety, for which all required permits are now complete. The building has received comprehensive electrical upgrades, including the installation of a 9.8 kW solar photovoltaic system in 2013 consisting of 40 panels and 8 interactive inverters serving multiple addresses, and a Ufer ground system with relocated main disconnect switch in 2019.

Recent infrastructure maintenance includes plumbing work in 2024 to repair and replace the house trap, and water service improvements in 2018. The building has experienced some maintenance and safety issues in the past, with several code violations and complaints filed between 2002 and 2014, though all have been officially abated. These included concerns about stairs, exterior doors, various interior surfaces, and plumbing issues which were all addressed.

Notably, there was a period of heating system problems in June 2014, and some general maintenance issues were reported at that time. Records show that the building has been proactive in addressing safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of the soft-story retrofit program (Tier 3 status with Certificate of Final Completion issued) and various system upgrades. Street space permits were issued in 2017, and the property has maintained compliance with local building codes since addressing the noted violations.
