1144 Lake St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1144 Lake Street, owned by the Schaezlein Survivors Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work since its construction in 1923. Most recently, in 2022, the building required structural repairs to address termite damage, including side stairs and frame fungus issues, which cost approximately $12,000.

A major kitchen renovation was completed in 2021, including plumbing and electrical work ($12,000), while 2015 saw the completion of a substantial re-roofing project costing over $24,000. The property has seen consistent maintenance attention to its structural integrity and safety features, with voluntary seismic stability improvements completed in 2003, window replacements in 2004, and earlier dry rot repairs in 1996. Additional features include a greenhouse installation in 1983 and the building's classification as flats/duplex in 1982.

The property's external maintenance record shows regular attention to the surrounding environment, with several 311 calls primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, though these incidents (between 2016-2021) were generally routine and not directly related to building safety. A potentially concerning structural issue was addressed in 2018 with the inspection of a reportedly leaning and dying tree, which was completed by the Bureau of Urban Forestry. The building's documented permit history suggests a pattern of proactive maintenance and upgrading of both structural and cosmetic features, with particular attention paid to kitchen modernization, window upgrades, and fundamental safety improvements over its nearly 100-year history.
