534 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The Lam Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 534 Balboa Street in the Inner Richmond, which was constructed in 1908 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex building under the city’s building code. The property has undergone some significant modifications in recent years, most notably in December 2022 when a plumbing inspection was conducted for converting a commercial space into a residential dwelling, though this permit has since expired.

The building has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk maintenance, with two documented cases of collapsed sidewalks in 2015 and 2017, both of which were related to damage caused by city-maintained trees and required significant repairs covering approximately 100 square feet. The property’s exterior has faced some maintenance challenges, including an instance of non-offensive graffiti in 2012 and multiple reports of garbage and debris on or near the property between 2015 and 2025. A tree pruning request was successfully completed in March 2017, suggesting attention to landscape maintenance issues, though no recent tree-related complaints have been recorded.

The most recent activity at the property was a garbage and debris complaint in January 2025, which was resolved by street cleaning services, indicating ongoing attention to exterior maintenance. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, many of these have been addressed through proper channels and have been marked as resolved in the city's records. The property's most significant recent modification involved the attempted conversion of commercial space to residential use in late 2022, though the status of this modification remains uncertain due to the permit's expiration.
