4716 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 4716 Irving St in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Samuel Schow. The building experienced a significant incident in October 2011 when a vehicle crashed through the garage door, resulting in substantial damage to the garage, bearing wall, furnace, ductwork, gas systems, water heater, and related infrastructure.

This incident triggered a series of repairs and violations, including the need for garage repairs, plumbing work, and electrical repairs, with subsequent violations filed in July 2014 for failure to complete the required final inspections. While these violations remained active through 2014, they were ultimately abated by March 2015.

The property has undergone several important infrastructure upgrades, including the replacement of water heaters and furnaces in both units in 2011, and most recently, an electrical panel upgrade from 100 to 200 amps in October 2024, which is currently in the issued stage. A record of street cleaning was documented in January 2014, though this was unrelated to building conditions. The extensive history of repairs and violations following the 2011 incident indicates a period of significant building maintenance activity, which appears to have stabilized with the recent electrical panel upgrade.
