81-87 Iris Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 81-87 Iris Avenue in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, owned by Kawaguchi Hana and constructed in 1948, has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the years. Most notably, in 2018, the electrical system was substantially modernized with the installation of a 240-volt 200-amp underground electrical service with four meters. The property has received regular maintenance attention, including window replacements in 2003 (nine windows upgraded to paintable wood composite) and plumbing improvements such as water heater replacements in 2008 and 2010.

In 2012, there was some controversy over unpermitted construction work related to bathroom renovations that generated complaints about noise and walkway access, though this was resolved within days and permits for similar work were subsequently obtained, including a bathroom remodel and associated electrical work. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including termite repairs and reroofing projects completed in the early 1990s. Recent external issues have primarily involved infrastructure and public space concerns rather than building-specific problems, with documented cases of sidewalk defects (2018), parking violations (2019), and abandoned vehicles (2021) in the vicinity.

The building has undergone regular routine housing inspections in 1999 and 2005 with no reported issues. Of particular note to current and prospective tenants is a buyout offer of $19,980 to two tenants at a nearby address (95 Iris Avenue) in 2019, though this is unrelated to the subject property and occurred at a different location. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep by ownership, with most recent improvements focused on modernizing key building systems.
