156-158 Cook St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 156-158 Cook Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood. Built in 1885 and currently owned by the Jennifer Kwok Living Trust, this flats and duplex building has undergone several notable improvements over the years. In the late 1990s, significant renovations were completed, including bathroom additions and repairs to dry rot in 1997, along with kitchen upgrades involving new sinks, cabinets, and linoleum flooring.

More recently, in 2004, the electrical system received an important upgrade with the installation of a 200-amp main panel and additional electrical work. The building's recent history shows no significant safety concerns or major structural issues. However, there have been numerous reports regarding parking violations and street maintenance in the immediate vicinity between 2021 and 2025, with multiple instances of vehicles parking on sidewalks and blocking driveways, resulting in several citations being issued by parking enforcement.

There have also been cases of street cleaning needs, including reports of garbage, debris, and a damaged tree, though these were generally resolved through appropriate municipal services. A recent parking-related inquiry in January 2025 involved two white Teslas on the block, suggesting some ongoing parking management challenges in the area, though this was determined to have no merit regarding the particular complaint. While these neighborhood issues are notable, they primarily relate to street-level conditions and parking management rather than the building's structural or systems integrity.
