70-72 Clipper St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 70-72 Clipper Street in Noe Valley, owned by Jeffrey & Dana Bernstein, is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1972. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past five years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2018-2019. This major renovation project, valued at approximately $200,000, included comprehensive work on both floors, such as the addition of a powder room, renovation of living spaces, installation of new windows and lighting, outdoor deck reconfiguration, and updates to heating systems including radiant heating and a new DHW boiler.

The renovation also involved exterior improvements including new wood siding and modifications to the front facade, which were completed in 2019 with additional costs of $8,000. The building's systems have been thoroughly updated during this period, with complete rewiring to meet current electrical codes, the installation of multiple new fixtures, and extensive plumbing work including new bathroom and kitchen installations, hydronic heat systems, and an on-demand water heater/boiler. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly relating to driveway blockages, with multiple citations issued between 2023-2024.

There have been five documented instances of driveway blocking leading to citations in 2024 alone, with earlier violations also recorded in 2023. Additionally, there were several reports of sidewalk parking violations in 2019 and 2021, though some of these could not be validated by responding officers. Two illegal postings were reported in September 2021, which were addressed by the SES Graffiti Crew. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with roofing work documented in 1991 and 2002, though the more recent extensive renovations in 2018-2019 represent the most significant investment in the property's infrastructure and systems in recent years.
