184-190 Valley St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 7-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 184-190 Valley Street in Noe Valley, owned by Valley Street LLC, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since 2018. The property completed major infrastructure upgrades including the installation of a sprinkler monitoring system, a new 200-amp electrical service, and comprehensive plumbing renovations including bathroom and kitchen updates, furnace installation, and sewer line improvements. A notable work scope included the rewiring of a unit with extensive electrical upgrades in October 2018.

The building has achieved compliance with San Francisco's soft-story retrofit requirements (Tier 3 completion), and a tenant buyout occurred in December 2015 involving two tenants for $54,000. The property has experienced some maintenance and infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding sewer issues, with documented sewage backups in 2019 and 2021. There have been multiple street space permits issued during the construction period in 2018, which generated tenant complaints about parking impacts.

A confirmed fire safety inspection issue related to blocked exits was promptly corrected in July 2014. Recent property concerns include an open case regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk (2024) and some historical complaints about unauthorized short-term rentals and construction-related parking disruptions, though these issues were subsequently addressed. The building has maintained regular maintenance activity as evidenced by multiple completed permits for various systems upgrades and repairs, indicating active management of the property's infrastructure needs.
