309-311 Kirkham St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-family residential building at 309-311 Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1948, currently owned by Gary Charles Hensley. The property underwent significant renovations in early 2017, including comprehensive seismic strengthening, kitchen and bathroom remodeling in both units, and major electrical and plumbing upgrades. The seismic work included installing 1/2" CDX plywood around the first-floor walls, while electrical improvements featured new sub-panels for both flats and extensive system updates.

The building also received new windows with solid wood frames and divided lights. Multiple reroofing projects were proposed in 2017, with costs ranging from $6,000 to $12,500. The property has had regular maintenance and infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of two new furnaces in 2014.

While the building improvements have generally enhanced safety and living conditions, there have been some recent concerns. A construction-related noise complaint was reported in October 2023, and there were two incidents in 2022 involving hazardous materials and sewer issues, though both were resolved. The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, evidenced by the 1996 repair of dry rot and stucco issues at the front corner and balcony. The building's recent renovations and safety improvements, particularly the voluntary seismic strengthening and comprehensive systems upgrades, suggest significant investment in maintaining and improving the property.
