164 Valley St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 164 Valley Street in Noe Valley, owned by Delcastello Construction Co, has undergone several significant improvements since its 1965 construction. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015-2016, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements and receiving a Certificate of Final Completion. The building has experienced recurring sewer system issues, with multiple sewage backup incidents recorded between 2016 and 2020, though these have all been resolved through municipal intervention.

Recent maintenance includes the resolution of a 2023 electrical systems issue and a 2018 fire extinguisher concern, both of which were promptly addressed. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, including window and door replacements in 2008 (18 vinyl windows and a patio door) and 2013 (replacement of one vinyl window), siding repair in 2014, and roofing work completed in 2010. Multiple routine inspections of common areas have been conducted, with the most recent in December 2022 identifying several issues including fire escape maintenance and structural maintenance concerns, all of which are believed to have been addressed by March 2023.

The building's permit history shows regular upkeep and required improvements, including a Ufer ground electrode installation in 2016 related to the soft-story retrofit. While there have been some violations noted over the years, including multiple fire safety and structural maintenance issues in 2010 and various safety requirements in 2000, all have been resolved and marked as not active. The property has also experienced occasional parking-related issues outside the building, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement requests between 2018 and 2023.
