2201 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

2201 Balboa Street is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in the Central Richmond neighborhood and owned by Gautier Properties Llc. Built in 1956, the building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring recently. In 2016-2017, all units received comprehensive updates including kitchen renovations (cabinets, appliances, sinks), electrical upgrades (GFCI outlets, exhaust fans, range hoods), and a substantial 400-amp service upgrade with replacement of panels and fixtures.

The building also underwent mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2016, though it is currently listed as Non-Compliant in the Tier 3 category. Earlier improvements included fire safety system upgrades in 2004 (new fire alarm system covering common areas) and various exterior repairs including stucco work in 2010. The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, with all identified fire safety violations from 2004 through 2011 being resolved, including smoke enclosure door issues and fire extinguisher maintenance.

A series of routine inspections and fire alarm-related complaints between 2006 and 2015 were addressed with corrections. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved external matters, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street-related concerns, including illegal postings, signs, and debris, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability. The property's maintained records show active management addressing both routine maintenance and emergency repairs, with no current active building violations or habitability concerns on record.
