34 Farnsworth Ln, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 34 Farnsworth Lane is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, owned by the Lisa C Sporri Living Trust and constructed in 1907. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements over the past 15 years, including a comprehensive seismic retrofit in 2007 that incorporated plywood shear walls, foundation improvements, and chimney bracing, which is particularly noteworthy for safety considerations.

Prior to that, in 2003, the building underwent deck repairs including replacement of joists and railings, while earlier maintenance records show a reroofing project in 1992 and various repairs attempted in 1983 related to dry rot and termite damage, though some of those permits were either cancelled or expired. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and sidewalk parking violations between 2022 and 2024, though most of these cases were either not validated or officers were unable to locate the vehicles.

There was also a plumbing complaint filed in 1997 regarding a "y" near the stop with a trap installation issue that remains active as of this report. The most recent significant interaction with city services was in October 2023 when the Rent Board confirmed the property's exemption from RB fees with a $0 balance, updating their records accordingly. The building's documented permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of critical systems, though some older permits from the 1980s (including those related to dry rot/termite damage and BBI compliance) remain listed as either cancelled or expired without clear resolution.
