4 Lupine Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The building at 4 Lupine Avenue is a two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential property built in 1955, currently owned by Lerch Family LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $80,000, achieving Tier 3 Soft Story compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. Recent safety upgrades include the addition of low-frequency horns in sleeping areas in 2023.

The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues promptly, with major work performed in 1999 including dry rot repairs, window replacements, and reroofing. Two routine housing inspections were conducted in 2003 and 2008, revealing several fire safety concerns that were subsequently addressed, including issues with fire escape drop ladders, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors. In 2013, the building experienced multiple alarm system-related incidents that were corrected by March 2015.

Regarding exterior maintenance, there were complaints in 2008 about the rear yard conditions and fence repairs, though these were addressed. The property has had minimal recent complaints, with only two related to illegal postings in 2022 and one sign repair issue in 2021, all of which were resolved. While the building had several historical permits for various improvements, including window upgrades in 1990 and multiple roofing projects, these were primarily completed decades ago.
