31-33 Valley St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 31-33 Valley Street in Noe Valley is a four-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing two units owned by Lisa Adrienne Ells Irrevoc. The building has undergone significant renovations over the past decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2010-2012 when the property underwent a major transformation from a 2-story to a 4-story duplex. This renovation included comprehensive updates to both units, installation of a new fire sprinkler system (58 heads), complete electrical system upgrade (200-amp service, new wiring), plumbing improvements (including 6 bathrooms and 2 kitchens), and the addition of a solar PV system. The 2010-2012 renovations totaled approximately $600,000 and included modernizing both units with updated living spaces, kitchens, and bathrooms.

Prior to these improvements, the building had faced several maintenance issues, including a housing inspection complaint in 2008 regarding broken windows, weatherproofing problems, plumbing issues, and heating concerns. There were also documented complaints about unauthorized construction work in 2009 and a permit violation involving shed demolition in 2008, though these issues were addressed and closed. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety systems, with the installation of the comprehensive fire sprinkler system being a notable safety improvement. Recent history from 2021 onward shows recurring issues with vehicles blocking the driveway, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

The property's renovation history demonstrates substantial investment in building systems and resident amenities, with all major permits marked as complete. The building now features modern safety systems, updated living spaces, and environmentally friendly solar power installation. The extensive improvements made during the 2010-2012 period appear to have resolved many of the earlier maintenance issues, given the lack of similar complaints in recent years, though no building permits or major renovations are recorded in the past decade. The recent parking enforcement issues, while notable, pertain to external access rather than building conditions or systems.
