142-144 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 142-144 2nd Avenue in the Lake-The Presidio neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1902, currently owned by Michael G & Jennifer G Cerc. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2002-2004, including a comprehensive interior remodel valued at $150,000 in 2003, bathroom additions, skylights installation, kitchen remodeling, and major electrical upgrades comprising the installation of 80 lights, 40 switches, 80 receptacles, and three panels.

Structural improvements included the replacement of the brick foundation with a reinforced concrete slab in 2003, relocation of rear yard stairs and deck construction in 2004, and the installation of a new roof in 1999. The building underwent a significant systems upgrade in 2004 with the installation of multiple electrical features, including a 200-amp service and various feeders. Several building permits from 1997 showed previous improvements to the kitchen, bathroom, and ceiling.

More recently, the property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, with four documented incidents between 2017 and 2022 involving vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition. The property has been subject to two permits regarding rear yard variances for deck and stairs modifications, with the most recent being officially approved. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the owners, with no documented safety violations or significant resident complaints in recent years.
