The property at 2136-2142 Hayes Street, located in the Park North neighborhood, is a two-story multi-family residential building containing 4 units, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Tina Sim Kuen & Chau Sau Lu. The building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over its lifetime, most notably foundation work in 2008 to address issues caused by adjacent construction, and substantial repairs following a fire in 1994 that cost $65,000.

More recent improvements include the replacement of the water heater and furnace in 2018, though there was an unpermitted heater installation reported in June 2018 that was subsequently corrected by September 2018. The building has a history of addressing structural and safety concerns, including dry rot repairs in 2007 and foundation work in 2008. A routine inspection in 2003 revealed multiple safety concerns that were promptly addressed, including repairs to wood stairs, removal of combustible storage from the garage area, and installation of necessary fire safety equipment.

The property has experienced three sprinkler-related incidents in 2023 and multiple alarm system activations, though none resulted in civilian injuries or confirmed fires. Recent maintenance activity includes work on the building's sprinkler/standpipe system in October 2023, though the details of this work were not specified. The most recent permits indicate ongoing attention to building systems, with all permitted work having been completed according to records.
