116-118 Tiffany Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 116-118 Tiffany Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by James Ruggiero, was constructed in 1929 as a two-story flats/duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with recent major work including the installation of a comprehensive solar panel system in 2022 (5.655 kW system with 13 modules), reroofing in the same year ($30,800), and a street space permit. The building has seen important infrastructure upgrades such as a sewer repair in 2020, modernization of water systems in 2015 including a tankless water heater and new plumbing for appliances, and a kitchen remodel in 2015 featuring new cabinets and electrical upgrades.

The property has received various updates to its mechanical systems, including the installation of a high-efficiency forced air furnace and new duct system in 2011, and an electrical service upgrade to 200-amp in 2005. Recent maintenance issues have emerged, with a flooding incident related to sewer problems reported on the street in January 2025, which remains in progress as of October 2023. There has been a notable pattern of abandoned furniture and debris cases reported between September 2023 and January 2025, with multiple incidents of garbage and abandoned furniture reported in the vicinity.

The only documented safety concern was a hazardous condition reported by the fire department, though no civilian injuries were recorded. While the building's infrastructure and systems have been actively maintained and upgraded over the years, the recent accumulation of debris and flooding issues merit attention, though these environmental factors appear to be more related to street conditions than the building itself. The only documented tenant buyout in the immediate vicinity was for an adjacent address at 88 Tiffany Avenue on July 6, 2021, involving two tenants and a payment of $30,932.17. However, this buyout is not directly related to the subject property's tenant history.
