130 Palm Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

130 Palm Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by the Gibeson Family Living Trust. The property has undergone numerous renovations and repairs over the past decade, with the most recent work being a kitchen remodel in Unit #1 authorized at $50,000 in December 2024, currently under construction.

Significant building improvements completed in 2022 included waterproofing work and safety upgrades, such as a new waterproofing curb, 60-minute rated door, 1-hour rated wall, and reroofing at a combined cost of $115,000. The building has had comprehensive plumbing and electrical upgrades, including the installation of fire sprinklers in 2013, and various unit renovations between 2009-2012 involving bathroom remodels, kitchen updates, and system improvements. Of particular concern is a recent mold complaint filed in January 2024 regarding possible moisture issues in one unit, with the tenant reporting condensation on ceilings and high humidity levels despite using a dehumidifier.

The building's history includes several code compliance issues in previous years, notably a series of fire safety violations in 2004 that were resolved, and construction-related complaints in 2013-2015 regarding unauthorized work and safety concerns during renovations. The property has also seen multiple street-related maintenance work, including repairs to the public sidewalk and curb. Recent inspections and violations have primarily focused on building maintenance and safety systems, with the most recent permits indicating ongoing investment in unit improvements and system upgrades.
