1539-1541 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building located at 1539-1541 Balboa Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1921, currently owned by Chan Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2002 when $30,000 was invested in adding a laundry room, half bathroom, guest room, computer room, and replacing the old garage door.

This was followed by additional improvements including a $10,000 detail plan modification later that same year, and important structural work in 1990 when the foundation was bolted and rotted components were replaced. The property has maintained compliance with electrical requirements, with the most recent permit renewal in 2003 receiving final inspection approval. Recent activity at the property includes a currently open temporary moving sign request from December 2023, and several maintenance issues in 2013 involving sewer infrastructure, though these were resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows proper attention to structural and safety concerns, with no significant recurring issues. External incidents near the property have been minimal and mostly unrelated to the building's condition, including an abandoned vehicle case in 2018 (which was resolved by towing) and a non-offensive graffiti incident on a pole in 2018 that was addressed. The property's permit history suggests regular upkeep and proactive improvements, with no major structural or habitability concerns noted in recent years.
