The property at 137-139 Fair Oaks Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900, and currently owned by Mission Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring in 2015, including a major $200,000 project that comprised landscape improvements, a wood deck and gas fire pit installation, garage repairs including new toilet and utility sink, and various electrical and insulation upgrades. Previous improvements in 2011-2012 included garage additions, unit reconfigurations, and installation of new heating systems.

The property experienced a series of violations in 2008 related to lead paint hazards and weatherproofing issues, though these were abated by December 2008. There were also three notable fire incidents recorded: a gas leak incident, a carbon monoxide detector activation (with no CO detected), and a building fire (June 2021) with resulting electrical damage and water damage - the cost of repairs was over $50,000, covered by insurance. Recent maintenance and safety concerns include multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sidewalk cleanliness issues, though these do not directly affect building safety.

The property has generated several complaints and service requests concerning exterior maintenance and parking violations in the surrounding area. The building's recent history shows active maintenance and improvement work, particularly in 2023-2024, including safety upgrades, electrical work, and plumbing system maintenance. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the most recent building permit activity indicates ongoing investment in property upkeep and improvements.
