151-153 Duncan St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 151-153 Duncan Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Kenneth & Yuliya Koster. The building has undergone several significant renovations and safety improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2014-2015, including an interior remodel of unit 151A, kitchen updates, furnace installation, and electrical rewiring.

Of particular note was a series of violations and complaints in 2001-2003 regarding safety issues, including problems with the rear stairway, gas meter instructions, and egress obstructions, though all these violations were successfully abated by November 2003. Earlier maintenance issues in the building's history included bathroom floor and wall dry rot repairs in 2002 and multiple routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services between 1999-2010, which showed consistent oversight and maintenance of the property. The building has had several permit applications for various improvements, including a garage fire sprinkler system installation in 2004 (permit expired), comprehensive garage modifications in 2003, and multiple kitchen remodels.

The property has seen routine inspections in 1994 (electrical issues), 1996 (plumbing issues), and 1999-2010, all of which were addressed according to the records. More recent history (2017-2022) shows primarily external issues such as parking violations and street cleaning matters, indicating no significant internal building problems have been reported in recent years. The owners have made substantial investments in maintaining and upgrading the property, as evidenced by multiple completed permits totaling tens of thousands of dollars in improvements, which suggests a commitment to maintaining the building's safety and livability.
