119 Palm Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 13-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 119 Palm Ave, owned by the Schmetterer Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1963. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $115,000, installing plywood shear walls and concrete foundations to enhance seismic safety.

Recent years have seen multiple window and door replacements, with work completed between 2018-2019 including reroofing ($24,000) and the installation of a new hydronic boiler. The property experienced significant water damage issues in early 2023, with multiple complaints from Unit 105 regarding water intrusion and mold concerns, though these were reportedly addressed by April 2023. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety compliance measures, including regular fire safety inspections and corrections.

Recent fire safety complaints in July 2023 regarding exit maintenance and street numbering were marked as having either "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected." There was also one cooking-related fire incident recorded, though it was contained and resulted in no injuries. Historical records show periodic maintenance issues, including a notable heating system failure in 1998, but most recent improvements suggest ongoing attention to building systems. The property has complied with various regulatory requirements and completed significant modernization work, including window upgrades, door replacements, and infrastructure improvements, though the 2023 water damage incident indicates there may still be periodic maintenance challenges.
