3230 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 3230 Balboa Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Sheldon K Lim and Toy Christi, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1959. Most recently, in 2018, Unit #1 received a comprehensive cosmetic renovation of its kitchen and bathroom, including new cabinetry, fixtures, and plumbing work totaling $15,000, along with electrical updates for modern amenities such as lights, switches, receptacles, a fan, dishwasher, range, and smoke detector.

The building has seen consistent maintenance of its windows, with recent replacements completed in 2018 (cost: $3,200) using Milguard aluminum series products, following a pattern of window improvements dating back to the early 1990s when four aluminum windows were installed. Structural maintenance records show attention to potential issues, with dry rot repairs completed in 2002 ($14,000), and historical permits indicating ongoing upkeep including alteration and repairs in 1983. The building's history includes three routine housing inspections (2000-2005) by Housing Inspection Services, though no active violations have been recorded.

Recent neighborhood service calls from 2017-2022 primarily relate to exterior and street maintenance issues such as tree management, parking concerns, and sidewalk cleaning, with no direct impact on the building's habitability. A plumbing system upgrade in 2014 included house trap replacement, demonstrating proactive infrastructure maintenance. While the building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and improvements, particularly focusing on windows and unit modernization, the property has experienced typical urban neighborhood challenges as evidenced by 311 calls, though these are mostly related to street and public space management rather than building-specific issues.
