1934 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The Jin-leon Family Trust owns this two-unit residential building located at 1934 Balboa Street, which was constructed in 1988 in the Central Richmond neighborhood. The property has recently experienced significant issues, with active building violations recorded in October 2023 related to unauthorized conversion of the ground floor into an additional dwelling unit, including an unpermitted kitchen with gas appliances, improper plumbing and electrical work, lack of required smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, inadequate exits, and missing fire-resistant materials between units. These violations followed a complaint filed in August 2023 about possible illegal unit construction and inadequate unit egress.

The building has undergone several permitted modifications over the years, including recent work in April 2024 to relocate cabinets and plumbing in response to the November 2023 notice of violation. Earlier building history shows typical maintenance work, such as window replacements in 2000 and various construction activities in the 1980s, including the home's initial construction, demolition of a previous single-family dwelling, and garage removal. The property suffered from a rodent infestation reported in October 2023, which was abated in November 2023, and has experienced plumbing issues in the past, including a sewage vent overflow incident in 2006.

External to the building itself, there have been occasional reports of sidewalk and street cleaning needs, graffiti, and garbage-related issues in the vicinity, which have all been resolved. Recent records indicate ongoing compliance efforts, such as the 2024 permits for kitchen modifications and electrical work, though these appear to be reactive rather than proactive improvements. The building's current active violation status suggests persistent non-compliance with multiple building codes, focusing primarily on unauthorized modifications and safety concerns. The property's documented history shows a pattern of construction-related activities, from its initial development in the 1980s through various maintenance and modification projects, culminating in significant regulatory scrutiny in recent years.
