The property at 535-537 Jersey Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by the Engels Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring between 2010-2014. A major renovation in 2010-2011 involved substantial modifications to the first floor/main level unit (537 Jersey), including kitchen and bathroom relocations, bedroom additions, and associated electrical and plumbing upgrades, with a reported cost of $65,000.

The ground floor garage underwent a significant transformation in 2014, converting the space into a recreation room with additional bathroom and laundry facilities, along with important safety improvements including a one-hour fire wall installation, costing $29,070. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues, particularly in relation to sewage systems, with notable incidents in 2024 (sewage back-up discharge), 2022 (missing side sewer vent cover), and 2021 (sewage back-up). Structural improvements have been a recurring theme, with various beam modifications and garage strengthening work executed between 2011-2012.

Additional maintenance work includes addressing dry rot issues, with repairs to exterior stairs documented in 2005. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) show primarily infrastructure-related concerns, including sewer issues, an overgrown tree affecting the sidewalk, and multiple reports of illegal sidewalk parking. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to structural and utility systems, particularly regarding plumbing infrastructure, while recent years have seen fewer major structural modifications compared to the intensive renovation period of 2010-2014.
