153 Blake St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 153 Blake Street in Lone Mountain, owned by Lee Linn, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1974. Most notably, in 2024, the property completed a substantial renovation in Apartment 3, including the replacement of kitchen sink and countertops, shower valve modifications, and new tub wall tiles at a cost of $6,000. This renovation was preceded by some confusion regarding unit numbers, which required administrative corrections in June 2024 for Apartment 2, and included both plumbing and electrical work.

The building has received consistent maintenance attention over the years, with documented reroofing projects completed in 1988 and 2004, and a complete furnace replacement in units 2, 3, and 4 in 2016. Recent maintenance activities have been somewhat clouded by a construction-related complaint in April 2024 regarding potentially unauthorized work, though this issue appears to have been resolved by May 2024. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 1999, 2004, and 2011, all of which were promptly addressed. Multiple service requests were recorded in 2024, particularly in May, relating to street conditions and environmental health matters, including reports of hazardous materials and waste removal needs, though these external issues do not directly reflect on building conditions.

The only fire-related incident recorded was a public service assistance call with no civilian injuries reported. The building's recent history shows ongoing upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly in 2024, with appropriate permits being obtained for most work, though there was one cancelled electrical permit related to a kitchen switch replacement. The property appears to be maintaining compliance with housing oversight requirements, with permit records showing proper channels were eventually followed for the recent renovations. The significant number of 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street-level issues rather than building conditions, suggesting that while there are neighborhood concerns being reported, they are more related to public space management than building maintenance.
