479-481 Clipper St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 479-481 Clipper Street in Noe Valley, owned by Heather A O'Neill, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance since its original construction in 1900. The property has seen substantial recent investment, including a $25,000 kitchen remodel currently underway in Unit 481 (2024), following a series of kitchen and bathroom upgrades in 2022-2023 that included electrical panel upgrades (new 125-amp panel installed in garage for solar connection), solar panel installation (7.65 kW system with 18 PV modules), and comprehensive electrical work supporting modern amenities.

The building underwent major modifications in 2005-2006, including the addition of a first-floor unit with two bedrooms and two baths, and the installation of a new main panel with multiple subpanels to support the expanded electrical needs. The property has received consistent maintenance attention, with recent updates including a bathroom remodel in 2022 (tub-to-shower conversion), kitchen door replacement, and the installation of energy-efficient systems such as a ducted air source heat pump.

Historical records show earlier improvements from 1997 to 2006 focused on structural and functional upgrades, including deck replacement and entry modifications. The building's recent permit activity, particularly the focus on energy efficiency (solar installation, heat pump), and ongoing maintenance suggests active property management and investment in modernization, though potential tenants should note the property's history of parking-related issues on Clipper Street, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement requests between 2020 and 2024.
