3945-3951 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story mixed-use building at 3945-3951 Balboa Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Suzanne Bette Weinberg since 2018, was constructed in 1924 and contains 4 residential units plus commercial space. The property has undergone significant recent changes, particularly in 2023-2024, with substantial renovations to convert the commercial space into a cafe/restaurant, including interior remodeling, plumbing upgrades for kitchen facilities, and electrical work. The establishment received the necessary ABC Type 41 license for on-sale beer and wine, and a related plumbing permit for kitchen finish work was completed in November 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with notable improvements including water service replacement in 2016 and electrical system upgrades such as replacing Federal Pacific breakers in 2020. A plumbing permit from 2023 indicates more comprehensive renovations to restaurant facilities. Recent service calls in late 2024 revealed some maintenance issues, including graffiti removal and a sewage backup from a side vent, though these were promptly addressed and resolved.

The property has experienced some periods of vacancy, particularly in 2018 and early 2023, which prompted inspection and code enforcement activity, though these issues appear to have been resolved. Historical records from the 1980s through 2006 show various maintenance and improvement projects, including bathroom renovations and street space permits. No active building violations are currently on record, and recent planning reviews have focused on restaurant-related approvals rather than residential concerns.
