444 Valley St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 444 Valley Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Lee/Wong Marital Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its 1964 construction. Most recently, in 2023, the property completed a series of substantial upgrades, including a fire alarm system modernization ($31,000) in July, exterior repairs to the stucco facade ($12,000) in June, and window replacements with new fiberglass units ($10,000) in May. The building has demonstrated a commitment to safety and compliance, having completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (at a cost of $53,000) to meet seismic safety requirements.

Other maintenance work includes a 20-inch sewer line replacement in 2018 and historical records show reroofing work was performed in 1993. The building has experienced some fire safety concerns in the past, with violations noted in 2006 regarding fire system maintenance, including standpipe and sprinkler services, extinguisher maintenance, and general safeguards. However, these issues were subsequently resolved.

The property has had three fire-related incidents recorded, primarily involving alarm system matters. A routine housing inspection of common areas was conducted in 2008, though no current active violations are on record. Recent 311 calls near the property (2020-2025) have primarily involved parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of illegal parking and driveway blocking, though these are external to the building's management and maintenance considerations.
