1844-1850 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 1844-1850 Balboa Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, containing three units with one commercial space. The building's ownership is held by Daniel D & Linda D Loo Trustees. The property has a significant history of commercial space vacancy and use violations, with the most recent complaints filed in August and October 2023 regarding the vacant commercial storefront.

Previous violations include a 2000 incident where the ground floor commercial space was illegally converted into a residential unit, equipped with a kitchen, and occupied by three people. This violation was ultimately resolved in 2001. The building has undergone several maintenance and repair works over the years, including the replacement of a cracked concrete floor in 2000 (cost $1,600), reroofing in 1995, and a wall furnace replacement in 2011.

More recently, in 2018 and again in 2023, there were complaints about vacant storefronts and non-transparent windows. The property has also generated multiple tree-related service requests between 2022 and 2024, primarily regarding damaged or dead trees in the vicinity, with the most recent being a landscaping request from June 2023 that remains open. A street space permit was issued in 2018, and there was one plumbing permit for furnace replacement in 2011, both indicating some level of building maintenance. The property's most pressing current issue appears to be the ongoing commercial vacancy situation, which has persisted for several years, as evidenced by multiple complaints and service requests related to the storefront.
