139 5th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 139 5th Avenue in the Lake Presidio neighborhood, currently owned by the Barbara P Fedun Trust, has undergone numerous renovations and faced several compliance issues since its construction in 1908. Significant work was performed between 2005-2010, including window replacements, electrical upgrades, and structural modifications, with some permits showing as expired or renewed for final inspections. Multiple complaints and violations were recorded between 2005 and 2010 regarding unpermitted work, particularly concerning the rear cottage structure, which was allegedly expanded beyond its original single-family dwelling designation.

These issues were primarily addressed by 2010, including concerns about water drainage, downspouts, and safety violations related to guardrails. In more recent years, the property has experienced several concerning incidents, including three complaints between 2017-2019 about unauthorized construction work, improper electrical installations, and trench digging for drainage purposes. The building's maintenance history shows typical residential improvements, such as the installation of a gas fireplace in 2008 and various electrical upgrades.

The property has been subject to routine municipal inspections, and there have been several 311 calls regarding street maintenance and sidewalk issues between 2018-2023, including a recent pavement defect report from October 2023 and a resolved flooding incident from December 2021. Two notable safety-related complaints occurred in 2010 regarding unpermitted interior remodeling and porch guardrail removal, though these were subsequently abated. The building has maintained active compliance with most regulatory requirements since 2010, with no active building violations currently on record.
