3861-3863 26th St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit residential building at 3861-3863 26th Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by the Robert P Rinauro Living Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced some maintenance challenges over its history. Between 2004 and 2006, the property underwent substantial improvements, including the replacement of the rear exterior stairs, multiple dry rot repairs to the exterior trim and siding, and conversion of basement space to living area with associated electrical work.

The foundation work included creating a one-hour fire-rated garage and office space with new bathroom facilities and rear yard access. Of particular note, the building experienced a cluster of serious maintenance issues in 2001, when complaints were filed regarding water leaks, mold/mildew, interior surface damage, plumbing problems, and concerns about lead-based paint, though all these violations were officially abated by December 2001. More recently, the property has not had any recorded building violations or major repairs since the 2006 renovations, and there are no reported safety concerns in the building history.

The only building-related activity in recent years has been periodic maintenance and improvements to public utilities, as evidenced by a billing request to the Public Utilities Commission in November 2024. The property has experienced multiple parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area between 2020 and 2022, with several citations issued for blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though these are external to the building's condition and maintenance history. The most recent recorded building-related activity was a toters management issue in January 2021, which was resolved by Recology.
