153-159 Julian Ave, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 153-159 Julian Avenue in the Inner Mission, built in 1910 and currently owned by Mb Julian LLC, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over recent years. In 2022, substantial remodeling was completed in Units 157-B and 155B, including kitchen renovations, laundry installations, and associated electrical and plumbing work totaling over $118,000.

Earlier improvements included comprehensive renovations of Units 153 and 159 in 2019, new gas furnaces for lower units, and major electrical upgrades including the installation of three new meters. The building has addressed several critical safety requirements, completing a mandatory Soft Story Retrofit as a Tier 3 building and upgrading its fire alarm system in 2019 to meet current code requirements. The property has a history of maintenance and regulatory compliance issues, particularly in 2016-2017, when multiple violations were recorded relating to interior surfaces, fire safety, and structural maintenance, though all were subsequently abated.

A fire incident in 2016 involving cooking equipment and a gas leak were both responded to without civilian injuries. While recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to building systems, including the resolution of electrical and plumbing issues, there have been several 311 calls in early 2025 regarding encampments and street cleaning near the property, though these are external to the building itself. The building's most recent work demonstrates substantial investment in updating and maintaining the property, with most recent permits showing complete compliance and resolution of previously identified concerns.
