123 Liberty St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 123 Liberty Street, owned by the David A Martel Trust, was constructed in 1895 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the years, including multiple deck repairs and dry rot remediation in the late 1990s, a reroofing project in 1996, and deck area repairs.

In 2004-2006, the building underwent electrical upgrades including a conversion from overhead to underground power with PG&E. The building has a history of fire safety and code compliance issues that were addressed promptly. Two routine apartment inspections (2001 and 2007) identified multiple fire safety concerns including the need to recharge fire extinguishers, which were consistently resolved within weeks of being cited.

Other safety improvements included repairs to guardrails and self-closing devices at exterior doors, all of which were addressed by February 2008. Recent history shows active management of property maintenance, though there are ongoing street-level maintenance issues noted in 2024, including tree maintenance and multiple reports of garbage and debris, these exterior issues do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions or management. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing structural and safety concerns as they arise, with no recent building violations or complaints related to the interior systems or safety features since 2008.
