129-131 4th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 129-131 4th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Lois Mary Keenan & Rog since 1998. The building has undergone substantial renovations in recent years, with multiple units receiving kitchen and bathroom updates between 2021 and 2022, including Unit #A in December 2022 ($13,000) and additional work in 2022 totaling approximately $41,000 across multiple permits.

A significant infrastructure upgrade occurred in April 2023 with the installation of four forced air heating systems, following the replacement of water heaters for units 129, 131A, and 131 in late 2022. The building previously faced several safety and maintenance issues, notably during a December 2015 routine safety inspection that identified problems with combustible storage in the basement, wood stairs, fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide alarms, and emergency exits, though all these violations were abated by June 2016. Earlier structural work included back stair repairs in 2016 and historical repairs to front stairs in the early 1990s.

The property has been active regarding parking-related issues, with numerous reported incidents of driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, resulting in several citations. There were two tenant buyouts recorded at the property, with the most recent occurring at 129 4th Avenue in December 2017 for $41,000 affecting two tenants, while no buyouts were recorded for 131 4th Avenue. The building appears to be well-maintained currently, with no active violations or complaints on record as of the latest data, and recent improvements suggesting ongoing investment in property maintenance and infrastructure upgrades.
