1936-1938 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit residential building at 1936-1938 Powell Street in North Beach, owned by Ganal Besosie Malvar, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most recent being a comprehensive remodeling project filed in October 2019, which proposed upgrading four bathrooms, adding two new bathrooms, and making various improvements to doors, windows, and an exterior deck, though this permit's current status is listed as filed. In 2006, substantial work was completed including kitchen cabinet installations, electrical upgrades, tile flooring, and exterior painting, with associated electrical work performed to install multiple lighting and receptacle components.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns, including multiple complaints about work done without proper permits in 2006, which resulted in penalties and electrical inspections, though these issues were ultimately abated by 2009. Recent history shows ongoing concerns primarily related to waste management and exterior maintenance. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple incidents involving garbage and debris, including issues with waste receptacle management and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity.

A sidewalk defect was reported and resolved in October 2022. The building's mechanical systems received attention in 2007 with the replacement of two 40-gallon gas water heaters, and in 1999, the property underwent reroofing, though that permit is now expired. While the property has experienced various compliance-related issues in the past, most of these have been resolved, and there are no current active complaints on file. Recent service calls primarily relate to exterior maintenance and waste management rather than structural or safety concerns within the building itself.
