136 Beulah St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The four-unit, two-story apartment building at 136 Beulah Street, owned by Mario Laplante, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant updates and faced various challenges over its history. Most recently, the building has experienced typical urban issues such as parking concerns and tree maintenance (as of 2024), with multiple reports of driveway blocking and garbage issues in the vicinity.

The property has undergone several important safety improvements, including the installation of fire sprinklers in multiple phases (2003, 2012), backflow preventer upgrades (2012), and electrical work, though there were initial violations in 2011 regarding unauthorized sprinkler system installation and inadequate backflow protection that were later addressed. The building underwent substantial infrastructure work in the early 2000s, including partial foundation replacement (2001) and siding installation (2000). Historical records from the late 1990s show a period of significant maintenance challenges, with multiple housing complaints regarding heating issues, electrical problems, and pest infestations between 1997 and 1999, though these were subsequently resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to safety systems, particularly fire protection, with multiple permits and inspections related to sprinkler systems and fire safety equipment. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external building concerns rather than internal maintenance issues, suggesting improved overall building conditions in recent years. The most recent building inspection request was made through SFMTA in September 2023, though no specific violations or concerns were noted in the response.
