Augrented Insights Report

The property at 242-246 Balboa Street is a mixed-use building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, containing 3 residential units above ground-floor commercial space. Built in 1900, this two-story building has undergone several significant changes over the years, most notably the conversion of a former video store into a foot and body massage establishment in 2011, followed by a more recent change of use to a social service/philanthropic facility in 2024. The building has seen various maintenance and improvement work, including electrical system upgrades in 2019, sewer line repairs in 2020, and gas line repairs in 2018.

The property has experienced multiple compliance issues over the years, with most violations being resolved. These include safety concerns from 2012 regarding unprotected stair undercarriage, and a 2014 violation related to an expired sign permit. A recent complaint from October 2024 regarding possible unpermitted construction work is currently active and under investigation.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with roofing work in 1999, various plumbing improvements, and electrical upgrades. Recent complaints and service requests from 2021-2024 primarily relate to sidewalk cleaning and illegal postings on or near the property. While there have been instances of graffiti reported, these were resolved promptly through city services.
