3244 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 3244 Balboa Street in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by Beverly T Lund, has been standing since 1920 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade, with particular attention required to its plumbing systems.

Most notably, between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple sewer backup incidents (eight documented cases) that suggest persistent issues with the property's sewage infrastructure, though these problems appear to have been addressed through various repairs and replacements. The building underwent a complete sewer system upgrade in January 2020, including a 12-foot replacement and house trap replacement, which followed an earlier sewer line replacement in February 2013. The property has seen regular upkeep of essential systems and components, including electrical work (installation of GFI outlets in the bathroom and basement), plumbing renovations (such as bathroom fixtures in 2012 and sewer work in 2020), and general maintenance like rear stairs repairs in 2013.

Historical records show earlier improvements including reroofing in 1993, kitchen cabinet replacement in 1988, and wood repairs in 1984, indicating ongoing maintenance of structural elements. More recent minor incidents include graffiti in 2022 and illegal postings in the same year, neither of which appeared to significantly impact the building's overall condition. The building's maintenance record suggests active management, particularly in response to the recurring plumbing issues, though the frequency of sewer-related incidents prior to the 2020 upgrades indicates this was a notable challenge period for the property.
