178 Locksley Ave, San Francisco, CA 94131

178 Locksley Avenue is a 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by Roxanne Williams Lea. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, most notably a comprehensive $250,000 rehabilitation in 2010 following water damage that affected multiple floors, garage ceilings, and fire escape equipment.

Subsequent improvements included a $60,000 renovation to add washer/dryer facilities in each unit and modify kitchen and bathroom spaces in 2011, along with a complete reroofing project costing $19,287. The building received substantial system upgrades, including the installation of a new radiant heating boiler in December 2024 and replacement of storage tanks in April 2014, with all units having received proper permits and final inspections for their respective improvements. The property experienced several safety and maintenance issues that were subsequently addressed, including an April 2010 incident involving a fallen tree that damaged the building and compromised utilities, along with multiple fire safety violations related to fire escape maintenance and storage conditions from 2003 and 2011.

All violations have been officially abated, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in July 2013. The building's most recent maintenance activities demonstrate ongoing investment in building systems and infrastructure, with particular attention to safety features like the fire escape and utility systems. While there have been numerous parking-related complaints in the vicinity (2019-2024), these are external to the building itself and are primarily concerns about abandoned vehicles on the street.
