129 Julian Ave, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 129 Julian Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by 529 Commercial Street Assoc, was constructed in 1916 and has undergone significant improvements over recent years. The building completed its required soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 property in 2018, which included extensive seismic upgrades with costs totaling over $30,000.

Between 2017 and 2020, multiple units received substantial renovations, including Unit #4's kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2018 ($40,000), and Unit 1's improvements in 2017 ($32,000). Recent major upgrades include the addition of a 60A house meter to the existing 400-amp service in 2020, and comprehensive fire sprinkler system modifications in 2020, along with plumbing upgrades in various units. The building experienced multiple violations in 2016 related to safety and maintenance issues, including problems with window sashes, fire escape ladders, egress obstructions, and smoke alarm compliance, though these were all abated by November 2016.

Other historical work includes the legalization of a ground floor studio unit in 2017 ($60,000), reroofing work from 1998, and various unit-specific upgrades involving kitchen and bathroom renovations across different apartments. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned external issues like encampments and street cleaning, though these are related to the neighborhood rather than the building itself. The property has maintained compliance with soft-story requirements, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), and has undergone regular inspections, including a routine health and safety inspection in 2011 and multiple safety inspections throughout its recent history.
