3121-3123 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 3121-3123 Balboa Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by Fernando Jose & Sophie Shuf and constructed in 1946. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a sidewalk repair project completed in late 2021, which included both standard sidewalk replacement and main sewer repairs, with associated plumbing work completed in November 2021. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2004, including updates to both kitchens and bathrooms, along with a comprehensive electrical upgrade featuring installation of numerous electrical components and a new main service configuration.

Earlier improvements included roof work and skylight replacement in 1994, though some older permits from 1998 for vinyl siding installation have since expired. The property has experienced various maintenance and enforcement issues over recent years, including multiple parking enforcement actions for driveway blocking between 2020 and 2024, with several vehicles receiving citations. There have been recurring tree-related concerns, with reports of both property damage and sidewalk lifting due to tree roots, though most were resolved or addressed.

The building's history includes two notable complaints regarding unauthorized construction work - one in 2014 for major remodeling without permits and an earlier case in 2004 for interior remodeling without proper permits, though the latter appears to have been promptly resolved within days. While these complaints were marked as not active, they may indicate past compliance concerns. A 2020 planning record noted illegal construction and potential unauthorized commercial garage use, though this issue was subsequently abated. The property has maintained active upkeep with regular maintenance and improvements, as evidenced by the numerous permits filed for various repairs and upgrades over the years.
