4624-4626 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 4624-4626 Irving Street, owned by Cynthia Chiem, is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1993 in the Outer Sunset neighborhood. The building has experienced significant regulatory scrutiny, particularly between 2017 and 2018, when multiple building code violations were documented, including issues with illegal units, fire safety violations, rodent infestations, interior surface problems, and the need for various repairs. These violations resulted in several Notices of Violation (NOVs) being issued in January 2018, though records indicate they were eventually abated by May 2018.

The building underwent permit applications in 2018 to legalize unauthorized partitions on the second and third floors and to address additional bathroom modifications. More recently, in October 2020, two complaints were filed regarding electrical work performed without permits and illegal unit modifications, though these complaints are no longer active. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, including multiple sewage backup incidents (2021, 2020) and various services requests related to hazardous materials and street cleaning.

There was also a documented case of illegal short-term rental activity that was closed and abated. The most recent records indicate tenant buyout activity at the adjacent property (4620 Irving Street) in 2022, though this is for a different unit. The building's maintenance history reveals challenges with basic infrastructure and regulatory compliance, though most historical violations appear to have been resolved through proper permitting and remediation. Recent 311 calls predominantly relate to external issues such as parking violations and street maintenance, suggesting fewer internal issues in recent years, though attention should be paid to the building's historical pattern of permit violations and maintenance needs.
