133-137 Lake St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 133-137 Lake Street, constructed in 1908, has undergone several significant improvements in recent years under the ownership of Arlene Won Jeung Survivors Trust. Most notably, in 2022, the property received substantial upgrades including repairs to the second egress staircase, replacement of non-street-visible windows, and extensive plumbing work involving bathroom and kitchen remodels in multiple units, installation of tankless water heaters, and electrical rewiring on the second floor. A major renovation project in 2020 involved garage remodeling, dry rot repairs, and unit improvements valued at $250,000.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues that have been addressed over time. In 2016, there were violations related to lead paint hazards, weatherproofing, and interior surface maintenance, though these were abated by September 2016. A 2003 routine inspection revealed concerns about smoke detectors, emergency exits, stair repairs, and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were subsequently resolved.

Recent maintenance has been generally proactive, with particular attention paid to safety features such as the rear egress staircase. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including dry rot repairs and sewer line work in 2015, along with various exterior maintenance tasks. The most recent building-related issues have primarily concerned parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks between 2022-2024, and tree-related concerns reported in 2024. The building's permit history demonstrates ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with all recent major improvements completed successfully.
