158-160 Tiffany Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story multi-family residential building at 158-160 Tiffany Avenue in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood, owned by Pedro & Cenobia Navarrete, has been standing since 1900 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most notable being a series of problems related to unauthorized deck and stair construction at the rear of the building. This led to multiple building permits and violation notices between 2016 and 2018, including a completed permit in 2018 to remove illegal construction and replace it with the original egress stair configuration at a cost of $18,000.

Other important improvements include the installation of solar panels in 2017 (completed), and historical fire safety upgrades from 1991 when a sprinkler system was added to the ground floor. The building has experienced various maintenance concerns over the years, including reports of sink leaks in 2015 and significant rear stair repairs required in 2016. More recently, there was a complaint in April 2021 regarding excessive noise from construction work affecting the use of outdoor spaces.

The property has also faced numerous parking-related challenges in the immediate vicinity, with multiple reports of illegal parking, blocked driveways, and bicycle lane obstructions recorded between November 2024 and January 2025, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition. While there have been some fire alarm activations recorded, they were all unintentional with no injuries reported. The most recent building activities suggest ongoing management attention to both maintenance and code compliance requirements.
