118-120 20th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 118-120 20th Avenue, owned by Heidy & Norbert Lee, was constructed in 1913 and has experienced several significant events throughout its history. Most recently, in 2022, there was a plumbing issue reported in May that took some time to address, and earlier that same year, multiple tree-related incidents occurred in March. The building has undergone several major repairs and modifications, including re-roofing in 2014 (cost: $15,800), staircase repairs in 2006, and kitchen renovations in 2001 (cost: $9,250).

A significant compliance issue arose in 2007 when it was reported that a room in Unit #118 had been illegally converted into a guest room with cooking facilities, violating the building's special restrictions. This led to the removal of unauthorized kitchenette equipment and plumbing in 2009. The building has faced various safety and maintenance challenges, particularly in the early 2000s, when it received multiple fire safety violations that required resolution, including issues with combustible storage, fire proofing materials, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and garbage receptacle placement.

A notable incident occurred in 2002 regarding a modified fire escape that was obstructed by a satellite dish. More recent routine inspections have generally been resolved without major findings, though there was a broken window reported in 2009 and another plumbing issue in 2022. The property has maintained regular compliance with building codes since the mid-1980s, when it underwent a significant compliance upgrade in 1985 (cost: $3,000). While there have been occasional issues with parking and tree maintenance in the surrounding area, these are external to the building itself and have been handled by appropriate city departments.
