127-129 Blake St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 127-129 Blake Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by the Lee/Cheung Family Trust, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various safety challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2004-2005, substantial improvements were made to the property including horizontal and vertical additions costing $200,000, along with comprehensive electrical upgrades in 2007 that included rewiring of all systems, installation of new panels, and a 150-amp service.

The building faced serious health and safety concerns in late 2005 when multiple violations were documented, including issues with lead paint hazards, damaged walls, handrails, stairs, and reports of mold/mildew with water intrusion from windows. These violations were formally abated by August 2006, though they indicate a period of significant maintenance issues.

More recently, from late 2024 through early 2025, there has been a pattern of parking enforcement calls related to sidewalk parking adjacent to the property, with at least three citations issued during this period, suggesting ongoing compliance issues with parking regulations. While the building permit and renovation records indicate substantial modernization of the property, including improvements to address previous safety concerns, the recent parking enforcement activity raises questions about current property management practices. Importantly, there was one recorded building fire incident, classified as unintentional, though no civilian injuries were reported, representing another historical safety consideration for the property.
