137-141 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 137-141 Central Avenue in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, owned by the Edward Litke Revocable Trust (1995), has a significant history dating back to its 1904 construction. The property underwent major improvements in the early 2000s, including the construction of a new three-car garage in 2002 ($85,000) with associated electrical modifications (2003), and various safety upgrades such as the installation of fire sprinklers in the garage area.

The building faced several safety and maintenance issues between 2001-2006, including problems with stairs and decks that prompted multiple violations and complaints regarding structural integrity and lead paint concerns. These issues were generally addressed, with repairs to rear exterior stairs completed in 2006 costing $1,000, following a Notice of Violation. The most recent records show no active building violations or major structural concerns, though there have been periodic maintenance issues documented through 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to garbage, debris, and parking violations near the property.

Two fire incidents were recorded, one involving water evacuation and the other a carbon monoxide incident, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The property's historical permit record shows regular maintenance and improvements, including a reroofing project in 2004 ($13,000) and various safety compliance upgrades. Recent municipal service calls to the property have primarily involved street cleaning and parking enforcement matters, suggesting the building is currently maintained in compliance with city regulations.
