51-53 Iris Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 51-53 Iris Avenue in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, built in 1949, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over recent years. The property underwent a major renovation in 2018-2019, including the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) in the garage space, bathroom remodels in both units, and comprehensive fire safety system upgrades including new sprinkler systems and fire alarm monitoring equipment costing over $125,000 in total. Recent infrastructure improvements include a sewer lateral replacement completed in August 2023, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of essential systems.

The building received new plumbing systems in 2019 including radiant heat installation and combination boilers for each unit. The property has generally been well-maintained, though there were some disruptions during the 2019-2020 renovation period, including noise complaints related to trench digging. Historical records show earlier maintenance issues from 2006 regarding unpermitted kitchen remodeling, which was subsequently addressed.

The building's systems have been modernized with 200-amp electrical service upgrades and comprehensive bathroom renovations in both units, though there are indications of some incomplete or expired permits from 2019 related to fire service installation. The only significant incident on record is a biological hazard investigation that resulted in no findings. The property has had regular municipal service interactions, primarily related to routine maintenance issues such as street cleaning and utility concerns, with no patterns of recurring problems noted.
