1120 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 1120 Balboa Street in the Inner Richmond district, owned by Henry Choy, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects in recent years, including a garage door replacement ($1,000) in 2019 and stucco repairs ($7,500) in 2018, both of which were completed successfully.

A housing inspection complaint from 2012 regarding basement conversion and unauthorized rental was filed and resolved within two months. Of particular concern are recent sewer-related issues, with two separate sewage backup incidents recorded in November and December 2024, both involving discharge from the side sewer vent. The property has also experienced recurring waste management challenges, with complaints about garbage and debris in December 2024, and ongoing issues with waste receptacle management noted in multiple 311 calls throughout 2022-2024.

Other reported issues include graffiti (February 2023), an unauthorized service request (September 2022), and a driveway blocking incident that resulted in a parking citation (March 2022). A fire incident recorded at the address was classified as a false alarm with no civilian injuries reported. While the building has received some necessary maintenance, the recent pattern of sewage and waste management issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges that may impact resident comfort and safety.
