159 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 159 9th Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, constructed in 1909, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events in recent years. Most notably, in March 2023, there was a complaint regarding heating issues and a modified safety cutoff valve detector, though this complaint is marked as "Not Active." In the same year, between June and July, substantial repairs were conducted to address termite and fungus damage in both units, completed at a cost of $20,000.

The building underwent important safety improvements in 2022, including the replacement of wood stairs serving as a second means of egress, which was a $20,000 project completed in March, followed by a revision to reflect the as-built guardrail condition in November. The property's maintenance history shows attention to building envelope improvements, with vinyl window installations in 1998 and reroofing work, though some of these earlier permits have since expired. A sidewalk permit was issued in 2009.

The building's surroundings have experienced various parking-related issues, with multiple enforcement actions taken between 2018 and 2021 for vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, all of which were resolved through citations. Recently, on January 16, 2024, there was a recorded tenant buyout at 161 9th Avenue for $94,583.09 involving one tenant. While the building has required various repairs and improvements over the years, most recent permits suggest ongoing maintenance attention by ownership, particularly regarding safety systems and structural integrity.
