117-119 4th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The multi-family residential building at 117-119 4th Avenue, owned by the Jee Family Trust, is a 3-unit, 3-story flats and duplex structure built in 1902. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over its history, most notably a fire in Unit 117 in early 2015 that required substantial repairs costing $100,000, including restoration of the kitchen, roofing, flooring, and bathroom, as well as comprehensive electrical and plumbing work. The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including a sewer replacement in May 2023, house trap replacement in 2017, and various plumbing system upgrades in 2015.

Historical records show earlier repairs for dry rot in staircases (2004), reroofing (1997), and termite remediation (1995). The property has had several safety inspections and routine evaluations by Housing Inspection Services over the years. A critical series of violations was recorded in 2004 relating to fire safety equipment and emergency systems, though these were abated by January 2005.

More recent routine safety inspections have not indicated any persistent violations. Between May 2023 and November 2023, there has been a notable pattern of parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways, though these are external to the building's structural and safety systems. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and response to issues as they arise, with completed permits indicating resolution of most identified problems.
