3308-3312 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 3308-3312 Balboa Street in the Outer Richmond, owned by the Choy Family Trust, has a mixed-use configuration with retail space and residential units, and was constructed in 1987. The property has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, including window replacements in 2006 (7 vinyl windows at the front), kitchen and bathroom repairs in unit #3312 (also in 2006), and electrical work related to the kitchen and bathroom renovations.

A notable building violation history from late 2002 documented multiple fire safety and security issues, including missing smoke detectors, self-closing devices at exterior doors, egress obstructions, and the need for fire sprinklers over garbage receptacles; however, all these violations were resolved by December 2002. Recent concerns include an active complaint from January 2023 regarding garbage and rotted bakery machinery left in the backyard, as well as a past complaint from 2017 about blocked egress due to UPS package storage by the restaurant component of the building.

The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2011, 2014, and 2016, with the most recent inspection in 2016 still showing as active. Recent service requests (2023-2024) indicate ongoing municipal attention to street cleaning and waste management around the property, with multiple reports of garbage and debris, overflowing city garbage cans, and other maintenance issues, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent documented building infrastructure work was the installation of two grease traps in 2013, suggesting continued operation of the commercial bakery component.
