274-276 Duncan St, San Francisco, CA 94131

This two-unit residential building at 274-276 Duncan Street in Noe Valley, owned by Fsh LLC, was originally constructed in 1890 as a two-story structure. The property has undergone significant transformations in recent years, with major work commencing around 2015 when a vertical addition and extensive remodeling project was proposed, ultimately costing over $718,600. This work included adding three new levels, constructing two new kitchens, and adding multiple bathrooms.

The project faced numerous challenges, including multiple complaints and violations between 2017-2020 regarding unsafe demolition practices, including unauthorized removal of walls and roofs, which were eventually resolved by March 2018. Most recently, the building has been undergoing additional improvements, with active permits from 2023-2024 for the installation of fire sprinklers, heat pump systems, and other plumbing and electrical work. These recent permits indicate ongoing efforts to enhance the building's safety features, including a $47,245 fire sprinkler installation in 2023 and electrical work in 2024.

However, there have been several concerning complaints in 2023-2024 regarding construction site management, exterior maintenance, and preservation of the building's historic facade. These complaints suggest ongoing challenges with construction oversight and building maintenance, though most recent complaints from September-October 2024 have been marked as not active. A notable current issue, as of January 2023, involved concerns about rainwater runoff and building protection during storms.
