440 Valley St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 440 Valley Street in Noe Valley, owned by the William A Shapiro Revocable Trust and constructed in 1972, has undergone numerous maintenance and improvement projects over the past 15 years. Most recently, in July 2024, work was completed on various repairs including a rear door replacement and roof trim work totaling $8,100. The building has received consistent attention to window and door improvements, with multiple upgrades completed between 2011 and 2019 involving the installation of energy-efficient vinyl windows and doors throughout the property, particularly focused on non-street facing units.

Significant interior improvements include comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling in Unit #1 in 2016 and Unit #4 in 2011, along with electrical system upgrades. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in the past, including a termite issue addressed in 2021 at a cost of $36,500, and historical complaints regarding worn carpets and mold in 1998. A notable cluster of fire safety violations was documented in 2001, including issues with fire extinguishers and smoke enclosure doors, though these were promptly abated within approximately one month.

The building's infrastructure has been actively maintained, with significant work completed on the roof shingles in 2008, garage door improvements in 2019, and various routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking concerns and tree maintenance, rather than building-specific problems. A recent tenant buyout was recorded at a nearby address (426 Valley Street) for $69,000 involving 2 tenants in December 2024, though this does not directly pertain to the subject building.
