734 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 734 Balboa Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909, currently owned by Alan J. and Sherril J. Lew.

The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major works occurring in 2012, including a reroofing project costing $10,450, the installation of new electrical panels, and the addition of a gas line to a fireplace. Prior to this, there was a water heater replacement in 2007. The building experienced fire damage in 1997 that was subsequently repaired, with records showing various interior remodeling work from 1988 including kitchen cabinets, window sash replacement, and foundation raising. Recent issues reported in the vicinity of the building throughout 2024 suggest some ongoing community challenges, including multiple incidents of sidewalk parking, noise complaints, and problems with tree roots lifting the sidewalk.

There have also been several reports of garbage and debris on surrounding streets, though most of these cases have been resolved. A fire complaint regarding weeds and grass was filed in May 2024 but was determined to have no merit by December. The building's infrastructure improvements, particularly those from 2012, suggest that major systems have received attention, including electrical upgrades and fireplace modernization. The property classification as Multi-Family Residential (Use Code Definition) and its documented history indicate it is functioning as a two-unit dwelling.
