12 Blake St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 12 Blake Street, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Lee Family Trust. The property has recently undergone significant improvements, with completed work in December 2022 including window replacements (5 windows), door replacements (2 exterior doors), roofing work, and minor dry-rot repairs with siding replacement, costing approximately $30,000. Concurrently, a kitchen and two-bathroom remodel project was issued with an estimated cost of $31,684.

More recently, in October 2023, an electrical permit was issued to correct previously unpermitted electrical work in unit remodels, and there have been plumbing inspection permits issued in 2024 and 2023, with the 2023 permit having expired. The building has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues, though most are dated and have been addressed. A significant complaint was filed in April 2015 regarding various issues in unit 2, including fire safety concerns, mold, broken appliances, and deteriorated electrical equipment - though it's worth noting this complaint listed 14 Blake Street rather than the actual address.

Other historical issues include a gutter problem (1995), and several instances of waste receptacle management issues between 2014-2015, which resulted in outreach and enforcement actions. The property has experienced some exterior maintenance issues requiring attention, as evidenced by 311 calls regarding sidewalk defects (2022), missing street cleaning signs (2022), and parking violations. While these historical issues indicate past challenges with property maintenance and resident compliance, it's important to note that many of these issues are several years old and may not accurately reflect the current building conditions.
