201-217 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story multi-family residential building at 201-217 Balboa Street in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Anthony L Varni Revoc Tr and built in 1908, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2018, all five units received electrical system upgrades with the replacement of five defective subpanels.

The building has seen consistent maintenance on its vital systems, including plumbing work in 2008 with the installation of new sewer infrastructure and water services, and a roof replacement project in 2001. A notable safety concern was addressed when illegal openings on the property line were reported in 2003 (resulting in a violation for insufficient protection), though this issue was officially abated in October 2023. The property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges typical of urban settings, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in recent years.

These range from street cleaning issues (including reports of human/animal waste) to concerns about illegal postings and graffiti, particularly in 2021-2023. While there was a mention of multiple fire code violations in July 2020, no injuries were reported, and an alarm system malfunction was recorded at some point. The building's infrastructure improvements, including the 2008 sewer upgrades and 2018 electrical panel replacements, suggest that major systems have received attention, though the frequency of exterior maintenance issues (as evidenced by 311 calls) indicates ongoing challenges related to building maintenance in the surrounding area.
