416 Duncan St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 416 Duncan Street in Noe Valley, owned by Basem & Maha Totah Fmly Lvg, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1961. Most recently, the building received a complete reroofing in December 2023 costing $25,600, following a comprehensive soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 (Tier 3, CFC issued). The property has seen ongoing unit improvements, including a $25,000 renovation of Unit 7 in 2018 involving kitchen and bathroom updates with new fixtures, and similar renovations in other units including Unit 1 in 2017 and Unit 5 in 2011.

The building has faced multiple maintenance and safety issues over the years. In early 2018, there were significant complaints about water damage, mold, and electrical hazards, particularly affecting Unit 1, along with concerns about disabled fire alarms and a broken garage door. These issues were reportedly addressed through subsequent repairs and compliance work.

The property has also experienced various tenant concerns, including plumbing issues (water leaking from Unit 7 in 2020) and electrical problems (2019 complaints about sounds above the bedroom). Historical records show some building violations related to fire safety and central alarm systems, though these were addressed and closed. The building maintains its legal compliance status with the completion of required safety improvements, including the soft-story retrofit, though there was a period of unauthorized work noted in 2017 regarding a possible illegal unit modification that was subsequently addressed.
