116 Locksley Ave, San Francisco, CA 94131

116 Locksley Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by Cheng Conmin. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years, with the most recent being a fire alarm system upgrade completed in March 2024 at a cost of $12,820, which included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current safety standards. The building has experienced recurrent maintenance issues, particularly related to water and weatherproofing, as evidenced by multiple repairs to windows, siding, and light wells between 2015 and 2020.

One notable incident occurred in 2013 when an unauthorized structure was built over the fire escape, which was subsequently removed under a completed permit. The building has undergone several routine inspections over the years, with the most significant cluster of violations documented in 2001, including issues with interior surfaces, electrical systems, garage ventilation, and smoke detection systems, all of which were abated by July 2001. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of attention to both interior and exterior issues, with regular inspections prompting necessary repairs.

Recent work has focused on safety improvements, particularly the fire alarm system upgrades in 2024, indicating proactive maintenance under current ownership. The building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by sewer backup incidents in 2022, though these were promptly addressed. While the property has had its share of building code violations in the past, all documented issues have been resolved, and recent maintenance patterns suggest improved oversight of building systems and compliance requirements. The area around the building has experienced typical urban issues such as abandoned vehicles and graffiti, though these are external to the building itself and have been addressed through normal city channels.
