142-146 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit residential building at 142-146 Cole Street in Park North, owned by the Grimes Olsen Living Trust, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the past two decades, including multiple repairs to the rear stairs due to dry rot issues, most recently addressed in 2013 with a $3,800 repair cost. Window upgrades were completed in 2012, involving the installation of 14 new windows (3 Andersen Fibrex windows in the front and 11 vinyl windows in the rear) at a cost of $6,675.

The building's systems have seen updates as well, including a kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2002 ($12,000), a stair repair in 2001 ($4,000), and a furnace replacement in 2014 (though this permit has since expired). The building has a documented history of compliance issues from 2001-2002, when multiple violations were recorded regarding stair repairs, exterior door self-closing devices, and gas meter instructional diagrams. These violations were subsequently abated by February 2002.

Routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services were conducted in 2001, 2003, and 2017, with all cases being closed. More recently, there have been several maintenance and cleaning issues reported through 311 calls in the past year, primarily relating to street cleaning and garbage concerns, including an ongoing issue with tree roots damaging the sidewalk (reported December 2023). The most recent fire complaint from 2012 was resolved in 2015 with conditions corrected. The property has maintained an active response to maintenance and safety requirements, with all documented violations having been addressed and resolved, though some permits remain in expired status.
