142-148 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story multi-family residential building at 142-148 Irving Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by Arthur J & Joan A Costamagn, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with some concerns remaining unresolved as of 2023. Most notably, there are three active violations from 2014 related to building maintenance, including concerns about lead paint disturbance, fire proofing materials, weather proofing on siding, and combustible storage. The property has a documented history of water-related issues, particularly concerning sewer and drainage problems, with multiple permits issued for repairs between 2013 and 2015, including a substantial retaining wall installation in 2016 to improve drainage at a cost of $5,000.

Structural concerns have been addressed through various permits, including dry rot repairs to the back stairs and work on the rear exterior stairway. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure upgrades, such as the installation of a new tankless water heater in 2018 and various street space permits from 2016-2018. Historical violations from 2003 were resolved within two months and included repairs to fire proofing, self-closing doors, and stairs.

The property has undergone various plumbing and electrical improvements, including garage door opener installation in 2003 and sewer line repairs in 2013. While recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and graffiti on nearby infrastructure, these external issues are not directly related to the building's condition. The persistent nature of some 2014 violations, particularly regarding weatherproofing and lead paint concerns, suggests that while many historical issues have been addressed, certain maintenance challenges remain at this nearly century-old property.
