239 25th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 239 25th Avenue, owned by Sam Lowe & Joyce H Lowe Trust, was constructed in 1958 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years to maintain safety and modern amenities. Most recently, Unit #3 is undergoing a substantial kitchen remodel as of November 2024, including cabinet replacement, electrical upgrades, and new appliances. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (Tier 3) for earthquake safety, with work valued at $59,800, and underwent a main service electrical upgrade to 200 amps the same year.

Previous renovations include kitchen remodels in Units 1, 2, and 4 during 2011, and various infrastructure improvements such as garage door installations in 2019 and 2020. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety systems, though there were multiple fire safety violations in 2003 and 2008 regarding fire escapes, alarm systems, and fire extinguishers, all of which were subsequently abated. A notable fire complaint was filed in February 2017 concerning alarm systems, which was corrected by the end of the month.

The property's mechanical systems have received regular updates, including a furnace replacement in 2022 and gas line repairs in 2018. Planning records confirm the installation of a new garage door under proper approvals, and street cleaning issues recorded through 311 calls have been consistently addressed. The building has experienced several false fire alarm incidents over the years, but none resulted in injuries or actual fires.
