1135-1137 Lake St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 1135-1137 Lake Street, located in San Francisco's Lake-Presidio neighborhood, is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building built in 1915 and currently owned by Kenneth Satoshi Kumamoto. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial renovations occurring between 2012-2013, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, and electrical upgrades. In 2013, the rear building received kitchen and bathroom remodeling, window replacements with high-efficiency units, and electrical work including new circuits and fixtures.

Earlier improvements include the replacement of two forced air furnaces and installation of new ductwork in 2012, while plumbing updates in 2008 involved water heater installation and house trap/sewer line replacement. The building has a history of compliance issues that have been addressed, with three routine housing inspections conducted in 2001, 2008, and 2010 revealing violations related to fire safety, security, and building maintenance. These issues included fire proofing, combustible storage, stair repairs, handrails, and fire extinguisher requirements, all of which were abated by August 2001.

Earlier structural work included reroofing in 1995 and seismic improvements with anchor bolts installation in 1993. Recent maintenance concerns have been limited to exterior issues such as sidewalk defects (2011) and tree maintenance (2013, 2022), with the most recent tree inspection in 2022 noting a damaged and declining tree that was recommended for removal. While the property has had its share of maintenance and compliance issues in the past, recent years have shown significant improvements to the building's systems and reduced frequency of violations.
