2139-2155 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2139-2155 Balboa Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Robert Ho & Nancy Lee Trust 20, was constructed in 1925 and contains 4 apartment units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2019, including an apartment remodel ($49,000) that reconfigured non-load bearing partitions, remodeled kitchen and bath facilities, and updated heating and water systems.

This project also included the installation of new washer and dryer facilities, replacement of six windows, and extensive electrical upgrades including a subpanel upgrade to 120 amps and installation of new lighting and appliance systems. Additional infrastructure improvements include a complete sewer line replacement in 2021, and various routine maintenance items such as roof replacement (2006) and multiple street space permits. The building's history includes several important safety-related events, most notably a series of fire safety violations in late 2003 that required the installation of sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors, though all of these violations were resolved by January 2004.

A potentially serious incident occurred in 1997 involving carbon monoxide leakage, which was promptly addressed within one day. The property has maintained regular housing inspections since then, with no apparent violations noted in recent years. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior concerns such as pavement defects (2023) and tree maintenance (2023), while multiple parking enforcement calls indicate ongoing issues with street parking in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself.
