4725 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 8-unit, 2-story apartment building at 4725 Irving Street in the Outer Sunset, owned by Walter L. and Mary E. Kiner, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1959.

The property completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2016 (Tier 4) at a cost of $100,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Major infrastructure upgrades were performed between 2019 and 2021, including the addition of an ADU in 2019 ($80,000), comprehensive fire safety improvements in 2020 ($18,500), and a ground-floor sprinkler system installation ($25,000). Recent unit renovations include completed kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 6 (2023) and 2 (2021), with corresponding plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building has maintained its safety systems with regular updates, including a new fire alarm system installation in 2020 to meet current codes, though it did receive a fire violation in July 2021 that was later rescinded.

Historical building complaints from 2000-2011 included issues with fire safety equipment, damaged walls, and egress obstructions, all of which were resolved by the end of November 2000. More recent maintenance issues have been minimal, with some sewer odor complaints in 2023 and periodic reports of illegal postings. The property's maintenance history shows consistent attention to both unit improvements and building safety requirements, with the majority of recent work focusing on individual unit upgrades and system modernization rather than addressing major structural or safety concerns. The building's proper documentation and permit history suggest active management and compliance with city regulations, particularly regarding seismic safety and fire systems.
