136-138 Palm Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 136-138 Palm Avenue, constructed in 1920, has undergone significant improvements and renovations under the ownership of Devon & Kelly G Porpora Rev. The most substantial recent work occurred in 2017 with a successful vertical addition project converting the attic into habitable space, adding a bedroom and bathroom, and including new roof and window installations throughout the building at a cost of $250,000.

The property underwent major system upgrades in 2020-2021, including full rewiring with a new 400-amp service, installation of two new fireplaces, and comprehensive plumbing renovations for both units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels. A foundation replacement project was completed in 2014, along with various HVAC improvements including new furnaces and air conditioning systems. The building experienced some recent compliance issues in 2023, with a housing inspection violation regarding improper dryer vent installation that required subsequent corrections, completed by July 2023.

Historical records show the building has maintained active permits for various improvements, though there was one complaint in 2020 regarding construction dust control. The property has undergone numerous infrastructure upgrades over the years, including sewer repairs, window replacements, and seismic improvements, demonstrating proactive maintenance and modernization efforts by the current owners. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the surrounding area (primarily concerning sidewalk issues and parking), these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.
