1614 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-story mixed-use building at 1614 Balboa Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by John S & Helen L Doo 2003 T, was constructed in 1922 and contains four units plus retail space. Recent concerns have emerged regarding the commercial portion of the property, with two separate complaints in 2023 (July and October) filed with the Code Enforcement Section about the vacant store space, with the latter complaint noting it needed to be registered as a vacant property.

The building's maintenance history shows some structural reinforcement work was completed in 2000, including installation of hold-downs on the second floor and foundation anchoring, which were inspected and required revisions. The property has experienced recurring issues with its surroundings, particularly regarding encampments, with multiple reports in 2020, and a recent complaint in 2024. There were also two noise complaints related to delivery service business operations in August 2022, though these were noted as comments rather than formal violations.

A fire safety inspection in 2024 identified blocked exits, though this issue was corrected by April 2024. The building's exterior and immediate vicinity have required occasional attention, as evidenced by two abandoned vehicle reports (2016 and 2024) and a hazardous materials incident involving glass that was resolved in 2019. While some of these issues have been addressed promptly, the property has shown persistent challenges with its commercial vacancy status and surrounding area conditions.
