1722-1724 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 1722-1724 Divisadero Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Herbert & Kay F Engel since 1989. The building has undergone several significant commercial transitions, notably converting from a travel agency to a nail salon with children's play space in 2008, followed by additional related uses including foot massage and most recently a proposed conversion to full-body massage services in September 2024.

The 2008 renovations included substantial improvements such as new walls, doors, a power door activator, and comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades including a new furnace installation and laundry facilities. The property has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over its history, particularly during the early 2000s when numerous violations were documented in 2002 related to dry rot, window repairs, plumbing, electrical systems, floor coverings, and potential lead paint hazards. These violations were officially abated by March 2003.

More recent concerns include a 2021 complaint about backyard usage by a nail salon/spa business, though this was marked as not active shortly thereafter. The building has also been subject to multiple graffiti incidents (most recently in 2024) and other municipal service issues such as illegal postings and garbage concerns. While many of these historical problems have been addressed through various permits and repairs, including extensive work completed in 2008, the property's maintenance record shows periodic attention to basic systems and safety features, including several plumbing repairs, electrical upgrades, and code compliance modifications.
