130 Girard St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-unit residential building at 130 Girard Street in the Portola neighborhood, owned by Joseph Tze Fai Tam, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being a completed reroofing project in August 2024 costing $17,000.

In 2007, there was an attempt to replace the front siding of the house costing $18,000, but this permit has since expired. Earlier structural work was performed in 1992 and 1994, involving horizontal modifications and revisions to footing details, both of which were completed successfully. The building has experienced recurring sewer-related issues, with three documented sewage backup incidents occurring between 2011 and 2013, all involving 4-inch sewer vents and requiring intervention from PUC Sewer Operations.

The most recent incidents in August 2013 involved flushing and relieving work on the lower lateral system, which was noted as functioning properly afterward. While these sewer issues have been resolved, they represent the most significant pattern of maintenance concerns in the building's recent history. The property's maintenance record indicates regular upkeep over the years, with the most recent significant investment being the 2024 reroofing project.
