131-135 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 131-135 San Jose Ave in the Inner Mission, owned by the Chiu Family Trust, was constructed in 1900 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure with three stories. The building's maintenance history shows significant work done in the late 1980s, including repairs to a broken porch and stairs in 1988, modifications in 1989, and wood beam and column repairs at the rear porch in 1984. A reroofing project was completed in 1990, and most recently, a street space permit was issued in 2018.

The building has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most serious incidents occurring in 2006 when multiple fire safety violations were documented, including combustible storage issues, non-compliant hot water heater flue materials, and fire extinguisher problems. These violations were abated in September 2006. In 2010, there was a complaint about persistent water leakage near a skylight causing ceiling damage and potential mold growth, though this complaint was quickly resolved.

The building experienced one recorded fire incident, categorized as an unintentional building fire, though no civilian injuries were reported. More recent history shows regular street cleaning issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of garbage and debris between 2021 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The property's documented history suggests a pattern of addressable maintenance issues, particularly regarding water management and fire safety systems, though many historical violations have been resolved. The most recent building permits and street cleaning records indicate ongoing management of external maintenance matters, with no major building code violations or complaints recorded in the past decade.
