DBI files the shared foundation permits under both lot 002 and lot 002A, so the raw query returns each twice; duplicates are collapsed here. The 1995–96 run is repeated underpinning and stem-wall foundation work along the north side of the building. One structure spanning two contiguous lots. Lot 002A is classed 'Single Struct on Multi Lot' and reports 0 building area — the building is carried on lot 002. Both parcels' assessor property_location reads 129 24th Avenue. Building measurements are from lot 002. No sale recorded on the current roll for either parcel.

The city treats 129 and 131 as a single structure on two parcels. The 131 lot is classed “Single Struct on Multi Lot” and reports zero building area — the building is carried entirely on the 129 lot — and both parcels' assessor records give the location as 129 24th Avenue. This site documents them as one building, which is why the page is titled with the range.

A published guide records 129 as Ansel Adams's childhood home, giving his birth on 20 February 1902, and 131 as a later property with a studio it says was destroyed in a sinkhole. The city data does not separate the two numbers into two buildings, so the guide's account of two houses is set out here rather than adopted.
