70-74 Deming St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 70-74 Deming Street in Corona Heights, owned by the Stephen J Fox Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1959 and has undergone significant renovations over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2021, the property underwent a $8,000 improvement including the installation of a new steel spiral stair from the rear yard to the rear deck, replacing the previous wooden structure.

In 2019-2020, the building received comprehensive upgrades valued at approximately $200,000, including the replacement of all 12 exterior windows and 5 doors with Marvin Ultrex wood units, deck and roof railing replacements, addition of skylights, and substantial interior remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms across all units. The electrical systems were completely updated with new sub-panels in all three units (70, 72, and 74) during August 2020, and plumbing improvements were also implemented, including bathroom and kitchen remodels. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural safety, with previous repairs including deck maintenance in 2003 and removal of problematic fixtures in 2002.

While there were several past concerns about possible illegal units between 1998-2002, these issues appear to have been resolved, and the building has maintained regular housing inspections throughout its history. A variance was approved for the recent rear stair replacement project, demonstrating compliance with current building regulations. The property is located in an area with recurring parking enforcement issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk parking between 2021-2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance.
