137-139 Girard St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The three-story multi-family residential building at 137-139 Girard Street in Portola, owned by M2 Investment LLC, was constructed in 2009 and contains two units. The property has experienced several significant issues, most notably in 2014 when multiple active complaints emerged regarding a cockroach infestation, water damage from an overflowing toilet, potential unauthorized construction work, and various maintenance violations including security concerns and window hardware issues.

These problems triggered multiple permit applications, including efforts to both remove and subsequently legalize a ground floor kitchen. More recent improvements include the installation of a solar system in 2016 (completed) featuring 11 roof-mounted panels with a total rating of 2.915kW.

The building underwent substantial construction in 2009, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system with 87 heads throughout the building ($15,000 cost) and various interior improvements such as bathroom additions and stair relocations. While the building meets modern safety requirements with its sprinkler system and recently added solar panels, the persistence of multiple active violations (as of 2024) related to building maintenance, security systems, and sanitation suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining the property to optimal standards. The property has also experienced various exterior issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years regarding garbage and debris, though these are standard municipal service requests that don't directly reflect on the building's condition.
