30-34 Fair Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 30-34 Fair Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Douglas & Jennifer Siu since 2009, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1909. Most notably, in 2015, the property underwent substantial interior upgrades including the conversion of a laundry room into a bathroom, replacement of water heater and furnace, kitchen and bathroom remodels, installation of new wood windows in the basement, electrical system upgrades, and plumbing improvements. These 2015 renovations, documented through multiple permits totaling approximately $50,000, suggest a comprehensive modernization of the building's core systems and living spaces.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety compliance, including repairs to address dry rot in 2011-2012 related to a rear stairway violation, which was successfully resolved. Earlier maintenance work included sidewalk repairs in 2003 and a roofing project in 1992, though the latter permit expired. The property has undergone regular housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspections showing no active violations.

In recent months (2024), there have been several 311 calls related to parking issues and one mechanical equipment noise complaint, as well as some street maintenance concerns, though these are primarily external to the building itself and do not suggest any internal safety or maintenance issues. The 2015 renovation work included comprehensive updates to the building's infrastructure, with detailed records showing the installation of 43 lights, multiple electrical receptacles and switches, smoke detectors, and various plumbing fixtures including sinks, a heater, and bathroom fixtures. The building's maintenance record demonstrates proactive management, particularly in addressing the 2011 stairway violation and undertaking substantial improvements to the building's systems and living spaces during the 2015 renovations.
