129-131 Ord St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 129-131 Ord Street in Corona Heights, owned by Mark P Ryser, was constructed in 1912 and contains 4 units. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being a proposed parapet height increase on the front facade (filed in 2019) and a heating system upgrade in 2008. The property has a documented history of violations and complaints, with the most significant cluster occurring in 2011-2017, including issues related to lead paint hazards, fire safety (fire extinguisher requirements), and various maintenance concerns such as stair repairs and wall conditions.

The building's exterior has faced recurring problems with paint condition, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2012-2018 regarding peeling and cracking paint. More recent issues appear to be less frequent, with the last documented building complaint being filed in 2020 regarding construction without a permit. The property has seen gradual infrastructure improvements, including a roof replacement in 2003 (permit expired) and an electrical upgrade in 2005 to convert from overhead to underground power.

Several maintenance issues have been addressed over the years, including stair repairs in 2011 (completed) and furnace replacement in 2008. The building's recent history shows fewer active violations, though there have been multiple 311 calls in 2023 related to street cleaning and loose garbage, which are external to the building's condition itself. A notable cluster of interior and exterior maintenance issues was documented in 2011-2017, with many being resolved by May 2017, including floor covering replacement and various interior surface repairs. The property has also undergone inspection for potential unauthorized modifications, with a 2003 complaint regarding an illegal in-law apartment being filed and subsequently closed.
