164-168 28th St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 164 28th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Maxvi 1 LLC, has undergone significant maintenance and renovation work in recent years, particularly regarding roof repairs and infrastructure updates. Most notably, the property experienced multiple roof-related issues, with work completed at both the front ($12,000) and rear ($10,000) buildings in December 2024, following the replacement of wet sheetrock due to a leaking roof in November 2023. The building has seen substantial kitchen improvements, with plumbing and electrical upgrades completed in late 2023, including new drain, vent, water lines, and gas line relocations, as well as kitchen rewiring and sub-panel relocation.

The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges and tenant complaints, particularly regarding water damage, mold issues, and general disrepair. In 2018, significant concerns were raised about severe mold in all units, a deteriorating rear fire escape, security fence issues, and problems with windows, doors, heaters, and bathroom appliances. Earlier complaints from 2016 documented issues with a leaking toilet, broken bathroom window, and patio safety concerns, while multiple housing code violations were issued in January 2016 related to toilet repairs, deck repairs, smoke detector maintenance, and wall damage, all of which were abated by April 2016.

Recent complaints from October 2023 regarding unpermitted construction work and trash disposal from the roof were filed but resolved through the appropriate channels. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to basic infrastructure needs, with permits showing work on windows (2014), sewer line improvements (2019), and various interior repairs. Recent plumbing, electrical, and roofing work suggests ongoing investment in maintaining the property's systems. The property has also experienced some external issues as documented in 311 calls, including concerns about toter management and sidewalk parking, though these are not directly related to the building's structural or habitability concerns.
