154 Wood St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 154 Wood St in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Francis D. Ng and Sally X. Fang, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1965.

Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (at a cost of $60,000) to enhance seismic safety, and recent improvements include a $14,000 reroofing project initiated in January 2023. The building has a documented history of addressing various structural and safety issues, including a main drain line replacement in 2016, rear deck repairs and garage ceiling patching in 2002, and building code compliance work in 1985. The property experienced a cluster of violations in May 2002, which were promptly addressed by September 2002 and included issues with stairs, fire safety, damaged ceilings, and gas meter requirements.

A routine inspection in 2008 identified additional concerns regarding water heater strapping and garage ceiling repairs, which were also resolved. More recently, the building has faced recurring issues with driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued between 2020 and 2024, and tree-related concerns in 2021-2022 regarding property damage that have been monitored by city services. The building's maintenance record shows generally prompt attention to both voluntary improvements and required safety upgrades, with no active violations or complaints currently on file.
