137-141 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 137-141 San Jose Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by the Chiu Family Trust, was constructed in 1900 and spans three stories. The property experienced a significant incident in April 2016 when it sustained fire damage to the south property line wall, resulting in multiple notices of violation and subsequent emergency repairs costing $3,000. This violation was officially abated by August 2016, during which time the building underwent a 200-amp electrical service upgrade and received a reroofing project valued at $17,500.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with earlier work including rear porch wood beam and column repairs in 1984, and porch and stair replacements proposed in 1988-1989. Recent activity at the property has been minimal, with the most recent building permit from July 2018 for street space usage. External to the building itself, there have been various 311 calls regarding the surrounding area, primarily related to street cleaning issues and waste management between 2019 and 2024.

Notably, there was a series of general cleaning and waste removal calls in 2021-2022, including reports of human or animal waste. An abandoned vehicle report from 2019 and a sidewalk defect complaint from 2014 (regarding tree root damage) were also addressed, though the sidewalk issue was determined not to require action. The building's documented history suggests responsive maintenance to address both emergency situations and routine upkeep, with all major violations having been resolved within a reasonable timeframe.
