85 Palm Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The Wong/Liang Family Trust owns the 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 85 Palm Avenue in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, a property dating back to 1915. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most critical being a completed soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016-2017 (with associated permits filed in 2016 and an electrical permit in February 2017), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's wood frame seismic retrofit program requirements.

Other major renovations include a 2010 apartment #1 renovation featuring new kitchen fixtures, bathroom updates, and basement modifications (with corresponding plumbing and electrical permits), and earlier structural improvements in 1990 that included window replacements and mudsill installations. The property has maintained good standing with routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2005 showing no active violations.

More recent concerns have primarily been related to exterior conditions and street maintenance rather than building-specific issues, though there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the surrounding area between 2018 and 2024, including reports of garbage, debris, and some infrastructure concerns like pavement defects and a blocked sidewalk (the latter still open as of June 2022). Notably, there was one minor cooking-related fire incident recorded (classified as "cooking fire, confined to container") with no civilian injuries reported. The building's current condition and maintenance history suggest regular upkeep, with the most pressing safety concern - the soft-story retrofit - having been properly addressed as indicated by the issuance of the Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).
