2617-2623 Lake St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 2617-2623 Lake Street is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Sea Cliff neighborhood, built in 1921 and currently owned by Charlene Venter. The building underwent significant renovations in 2013-2014, including a comprehensive $145,000 renovation of four kitchens and five bathrooms, installation of a new interior stairway, and upgrades to plumbing systems including new water heaters and gas lines for dryers. These improvements were accompanied by electrical upgrades including a new house panel for common areas and the installation of additional electrical services.

Most recently, the building received a major roof upgrade in October 2024 with the installation of a new modified bitumen membrane system costing $28,000. The building had several violations recorded in 2008 related to fire safety and security, including issues with combustible storage, door security, fire extinguishers, and sprinkler systems, though all were resolved by September 30, 2008. There were also two fire alarm incidents in 2013 (which were determined to be false alarms or malfunctions) and one recent fire complaint in July 2024 that was found to have no merit.

The property has had three classified as false alarms through 2024. The building's maintenance and safety systems appear to have been significantly improved through the recent renovations and upgrades, with no active violations or complaints on record as of 2024. Recent 311 calls related to the property primarily involve external matters such as parking enforcement and street lighting issues, which have all been resolved through appropriate channels.
