1825-1827 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-family residential building at 1825-1827 Balboa Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1915, currently owned by Chris and Rebekah Lee. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with major safety upgrades including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system and monitoring equipment in late 2021 (cost: $32,000), and an electrical service upgrade in 2021 increasing capacity to 400 amps with three meters.

Substantial interior improvements were made in 2019-2020, including kitchen and bathroom remodels plus plumbing updates, while structural modifications were documented in 2021. Two notable building complaints were filed in April 2020 regarding construction work during the stay-at-home health order, and in February 2020 concerning loud construction wrapping materials, though these issues were marked as not active. The building has experienced persistent parking enforcement issues in recent months, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations between April and October 2024.

There is currently an open complaint regarding an overgrown tree (September 2024) and blocked sidewalk conditions (January 2025). Planning records indicate that a proposal for a third-story addition was reviewed but closed, with discretionary review being taken and approved. The property has had two street space permits issued in 2020-2021, and multiple permits related to infrastructural improvements have been processed, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and water system updates.
