         Item 1. Security and Issuer

         This  Statement  on  Schedule  13D  relates  to the  units  of  limited
partnership  interest  ("Units")  of  Public  Storage  Properties  IV,  Ltd.,  a
California  limited  partnership  (the  "Issuer").  The address of the principal
executive  office  of the  Issuer  is 600  North  Brand  Boulevard,  Suite  300,
Glendale, California 91203-1241.

         Item 2. Identity and Background

         This  Statement on Schedule  13D is filed on behalf of Public  Storage,
Inc.  (the  "Reporting  Person"),  a California  corporation  formerly  known as
Storage Equities, Inc. ("SEI"). On November 16, 1995, Public Storage Management,
Inc.  ("PSMI"),  a corporation  controlled by B. Wayne Hughes and members of his
family (collectively,  the "Hughes Family"),  was merged (the "Merger") with and
into SEI,  which then  changed  its name to Public  Storage,  Inc.  Prior to the
Merger,  PSMI was a  subsidiary  of a  California  corporation  known as  Public
Storage,  Inc.  ("Old  PSI").  Old  PSI was a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of PSI
Holdings,  Inc.  ("PSH"),  a California  corporation owned and controlled by the
Hughes Family.  Prior to the Merger, Old PSI merged with and into PSH, which was
followed  by  the  merger  of  PSH  with  and  into  PSMI   (collectively,   the
"Restructuring").  At the time of the Merger,  the Hughes Family owned more than
99% of the outstanding  Common Stock of PSMI. As a result of the Merger,  12,342
Units previously  reported as beneficially owned by Old PSI (the "Merger Units")
were  transferred  to the Reporting  Person,  and the Reporting  Person became a
general partner of the Issuer.

         The  Reporting  Person is a fully  integrated,  self-advised  and self-
managed real estate  investment trust ("REIT") which is engaged primarily in the
development,  construction,  acquisition,  ownership,  operation, management and
leasing of  mini-warehouses.  The address of the  Reporting  Person's  principal
executive office is 600 North Brand Boulevard,  Suite 300, Glendale,  California
91203-1241.

         Information  regarding  the identity and  background  of the  Reporting
Person's directors and executive officers is set forth in Appendix A attached to
this Statement on Schedule 13D. To the knowledge of the Reporting Person, all of
its directors  and  executive  officers are citizens of the United States except
Uri P. Harkham, who is a citizen of Australia.

         During the last five years,  neither the  Reporting  Person nor, to its
knowledge,  any  director,  executive  officer  or  controlling  person  of  the
Reporting Person has been convicted in a criminal proceeding  (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of
a judicial or administrative  body of competent  jurisdiction and as a result of
such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

         Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         At the time of the  Merger,  PSMI  owned a  significant  amount of real
estate related assets,  including the Merger Units. The aggregate  consideration
payable in the Merger to shareholders of PSMI consisted of 30,000,000  shares of
the  Reporting  Person's  Common  Stock  (subject to  post-closing  adjustment),
7,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (issuable  post-closing) and assumption
of $68.0  million of PSMI debt and  consolidated  property debt of $4.7 million.
For a detailed  description of the Merger, see the definitive proxy statement of
Storage Equities, Inc. dated October 11, 1995 (the "Proxy Statement"),  which is
incorporated herein by reference.

         The  Reporting  Person   currently   intends  to  hold  its  Units  for
investment.  The Reporting Person may, at some future time,  depending on market
conditions and other factors,  acquire  additional  Units or other securities of
the  Issuer  (through  one or more  market  purchases  or  purchases  in private
transactions)  or dispose of all or a portion of the Units  which the  Reporting
Person now owns or hereafter may acquire.

         Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         As of  November  16,  1995,  the  effective  date  of the  Merger,  the
Reporting  Person  beneficially  owned 18,234 Units,  representing  45.6% of the
class outstanding.  The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote all of these
Units,  has the sole power to dispose of 12,342 of these Units, and has no power
to dispose of 5,892 of these Units.

         During the 60-day period ended November 16, 1995, the Reporting  Person
engaged in the following acquisitions of Units:

   Date           No. of Shares          per Share               Transaction
- -----------       -------------          ---------               ------------

11/16/95            12,342                  *                      Merger


         *See Item 3 above


         The number of Units  beneficially  owned by each of the  directors  and
executive  officers of the Reporting  Person is set forth on Appendix A attached
to this Statement on Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, each director and
executive officer has sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of his or
her Units.

         Item 6. Contracts,  Arrangements,  Understandings or Relationships With
                 Respect to Securities of the Issuer

         In connection with the Merger, B. Wayne Hughes granted to the Reporting
Person an option to acquire various securities and other interests owned by him,
including 5,892 Units (the  "Option").  The Option expires on November 16, 1998,
and is  exercisable  for all (but  not  part) of the  interests  subject  to the
Option.  The  exercise  price of the  Option is based on the value of the assets
subject to the Option as of November 16, 1995 (as determined by Arthur  Andersen
LLP) and is payable in shares of Common Stock of the Reporting  Person valued at
the  higher of (i) $16 per share or (ii) a stock  price  necessary  to cause the
acquisition  to be  non-dilutive  based on the  Reporting  Person's  funds  from
operations  per  share  of  Common  Stock  (calculated  in  accordance  with the
agreement  evidencing the Option) for the four consecutive quarter preceding the
exercise  of the  Option.  B.  Wayne  Hughes  has  agreed  not to dispose of any
interests  subject to the Option  during the term of the Option.  The  Reporting
Person holds an irrevocable proxy to vote the Units subject to the Option.

         Except as disclosed  herein,  to the knowledge of the Reporting Person,
there are no contracts,  arrangements,  understandings or relationships  between
the  Reporting  Person and any person  with  respect  to any  securities  of the
Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any securities of the
Issuer,  finder's fees,  joint ventures,  loan or option  arrangements,  puts or
calls,  guarantees  of  profits,  division  of  profits or loss or the giving or
withholding or proxies, or a pledge or contingency the occurrence of which would
give another person voting or investment power over securities of the Issuer.
