1832-1834 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 1832-1834 Balboa Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Kam Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced various maintenance challenges over the years.

In 2000, a notable renovation was completed involving the construction of new fire walls to separate a playroom/social room, bathroom, and storage room from the ground floor garage, with an investment of $20,000. A concerning incident was reported in 2001 regarding an alleged illegal basement unit at 1832 Balboa, though this complaint was quickly abated within a day and is currently listed as not active.

The property has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being a sewage backup incident in November 2013 involving a 4-inch sewer vent that required fieldwork and flushing from the PUC Sewer Operations. The sidewalk area around the property has presented multiple challenges, including a collapsed sidewalk reported in December 2018 (which was ultimately determined to be a non-defect), and a blocked sidewalk incident in May 2017 involving a residential toter that required outreach and enforcement action. While these issues have generally been addressed through appropriate channels, they may indicate ongoing challenges with the building's immediate surroundings and infrastructure.
