2530 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2530 Balboa Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1925 and is currently owned by the Herman Wendel Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, most notably in 2017 when both a street space permit was issued and an underground water supply line was installed. The building has a significant history of safety and maintenance issues, with a particularly serious set of violations documented in 2001 that included multiple fire safety and building code violations, such as problems with fire proofing, smoke enclosure doors, handrails, and electrical wiring.

These violations were all resolved by May 21, 2001. More recently, there was a heating system failure reported in December 2009, which was resolved by January 2010, and a routine housing inspection was conducted in December 2015 that remains active as of the latest available information. The property has experienced several infrastructure-related issues in recent years, with multiple 311 calls regarding the surrounding area between 2020 and 2022.

These include reports of sidewalk defects, garbage accumulation, and parking violations, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building-related work on record is from 2017, when both street space and plumbing permits were issued and completed. While the 2001 violations indicate past safety concerns, it's important to note that these were resolved over 20 years ago, and there have been no similar violations recorded since that time. The only documented building complaint in recent years was regarding a heating issue in 2009, which was promptly addressed.
