401-407 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 401-407 Balboa Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1933 and containing 2 units. The building has undergone several significant improvements and modifications over the years, with the most recent being an $12,000 window replacement project scheduled for 2024.

Of particular note is the building's history of unauthorized modifications and subsequent compliance actions, including a 2019 violation regarding unauthorized wall and installation work, and a 2001 violation involving unpermitted construction for a massage room conversion in a former hair and nail salon. Both instances required subsequent legalization processes and fines. The commercial space has consistently operated with varying uses, including a beauty salon with massage services and a restaurant, with ABC Type 41 and Health referrals indicating current restaurant use.

Recent renovation activity includes multiple spa chair re-installations (2019-2020), electrical upgrades (2020), and plumbing work including a grease trap installation (2013). The property has experienced recurring issues with abandoned debris on the street, with multiple cleaning requests filed between October 2024 and December 2024, though these are primarily related to street maintenance rather than building conditions. Historical permits show various improvements including reroofing (1992), custom awning installation (1987), and interior modifications, indicating ongoing maintenance and updates to the property over its nearly 90-year history.
