146 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 146 3rd Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, owned by Kathy N Y Liu, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its construction in 1964. Most recently, in August 2023, the building received a comprehensive upgrade to its fire alarm system, including the installation of low-frequency sounders, which was completed with an electrical permit in March 2024.

This $22,808 project brought the non-sprinkler building into compliance with current fire code requirements. In 2020, the property underwent structural maintenance with the replacement of a concrete retaining wall and fence in the backyard, which had suffered from cracking and tilting, at a cost of $20,000. The building's maintenance history shows attention to fire safety concerns, with multiple violations addressed in 2002 and 2015 inspections, including issues related to fire extinguisher servicing, door security, and egress obstructions, all of which were promptly corrected.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of parking-related issues, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2023 for vehicles blocking driveways, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Historical complaint data from 2014 regarding trash receptacle management was also resolved, indicating general responsiveness to property maintenance standards. The building's records suggest active management response to regulatory requirements, particularly regarding fire safety systems, with all identified violations being addressed and corrected in a timely manner.
