139 Parker Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 139 Parker Ave in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, owned by Amy M. Lao and constructed in 1961, has undergone significant improvements over the past two decades. The building has seen consistent modernization efforts, including comprehensive unit renovations between 2013-2015 that encompassed kitchen and bathroom remodels in all four units, with individual projects ranging from $9,000 to $25,000.

The property underwent exterior updates in the early 2000s, including vinyl siding installation and rear wall renovations in 2002-2003, and a roofing project in 1991. While the building has maintained a generally good maintenance record, there were notable fire safety concerns in 2003 that were promptly addressed, including issues with combustible lint around dryers, malfunctioning emergency exit lights, and fire escape ladder maintenance - all of which were abated by September 2003. A significant complaint was filed in January 2015 regarding unpermitted construction work and debris, though this appears to have been resolved with subsequent proper permit applications.

More recent building activity has focused on routine maintenance, with no active violations or significant complaints on record since the 2015 incident. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple citations for blocked driveways recorded from 2020 to 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Recent municipal service calls have primarily concerned street maintenance and lighting issues, which were addressed by city services.
