4715 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 4715 Balboa Street is a two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1974 and owned by Adamovitch Hwasoong L since 1996, this apartment building has undergone several significant improvements and repairs over the past few decades. Most notably, a mandatory soft-story retrofit was completed in 2017 at a cost of $94,000, strengthening the building with plywood shear walls and concrete foundations to improve seismic safety.

Recent maintenance includes a complete reroofing project in 2022 costing $34,240, and earlier repair work in 2019 addressed damaged framing at the yard's extended bay. The building has experienced some structural challenges, as evidenced by multiple repair projects in 2017 (dry rot damage at the rear wall and lightwell) and 2019 (yard bay framing issues). In terms of building violations, a significant cluster of issues was identified during a 2004 routine inspection, including problems with security doors, fire safety systems, building permits, interior surfaces, and sanitation.

These violations were all abated by October 20, 2004. The property has also experienced some minor parking-related issues in the surrounding area, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways and illegal parking between 2021 and 2023. Two fire incidents have been recorded near the property, neither resulting in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 have primarily concerned street cleaning matters and parking enforcement, including reports of graffiti (April 2022), though some issues remain, such as a graffiti case noted as "offensive" in April 2022 that is still open.
