20-24 Julius St, San Francisco, CA 94133

20-24 Julius Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently containing 6 units and owned by Julius Lombard Assocs LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2009-2020. Major improvements include comprehensive electrical upgrades in 2009 (replacing fuses with circuit breakers and upgrading to 400-amp service), multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels across different floors, and plumbing improvements including the installation of three Rinnai direct vent furnaces in 2020. The building underwent important structural and safety improvements in 2019, including voluntary structural reinforcement at the first story rear and various system upgrades.

The property had several building violations in 2006 related to fire safety and structural issues, including requirements for smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and repairs to structural wood posts and ground floor ceiling, all of which were abated by August 3, 2006. Since then, there have been no recorded building violations or serious safety concerns. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, including sewer lateral replacement in 2010 and various unit-specific improvements to keep systems current. Planning records indicate past consideration of combining units with the adjacent property at 370 Lombard Street, but these proposals appear to have been resolved.

Recent history shows minimal issues requiring intervention, with the most notable incidents being three smoke detector activations (verified as unintentional) and two false alarm calls recorded by the fire department. The property is generally well-maintained, with regular updates to address modern living standards and safety requirements. The most recent permits show ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the building's systems, including the addition of new furnaces and plumbing improvements. The building's location has experienced typical urban issues such as parking concerns (as evidenced by a 2023 parking enforcement case) and occasional tree maintenance matters, but these do not directly impact the building's condition or safety.
