472-474 Clipper St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 472-474 Clipper Street, owned by Nikhil Thakur and located in Noe Valley, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1903. Most notably, in 2024, two substantial renovation projects were filed - one involving a new dormer and bathroom relocation on the fourth level, plus kitchen and bedroom renovations on the third level, and another focused on replacing front cladding with wood shingle, upgrading windows to aluminum clad wood, and repairing the rear deck.

The building's infrastructure has seen important upgrades, including a complete electrical system overhaul in 2016 with a new 200-amp, 3-meter pack and sub-panels, as well as window improvements in 2004 (18 windows replaced with white vinyl) and 2009 (installation of dutch lap vinyl siding). Recent maintenance and infrastructure improvement records indicate regular upkeep, though there have been some resident experience concerns noted through 311 calls, including a missing side sewer vent cover in 2022 and several reports of pavement defects on the street in 2021.

The building's history shows consistent investment in both interior and exterior maintenance, with major renovations occurring approximately every 10-15 years, including a reroofing project in 2015. The most recent tenant buyout recorded was in July 2023, involving one tenant for $12,567, suggesting potential upcoming changes to unit occupancy. The property has maintained active compliance with permit requirements, though records indicate some permits were initially filed but subsequently required additional processing, such as the 2005 permits for interior remodeling work which needed reinstatement.
