1030 Irving Street is a mixed-use building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, containing 4 residential units plus commercial space, and was built in 1927. The property has recently experienced significant issues, most notably a fire in October 2023 that rendered the building uninhabitable, causing smoke, fire, and water damage that affected both residential and commercial spaces. The building is currently undergoing multiple repair projects related to this fire damage, including asbestos abatement (February 2024), structural repairs (July 2024), and electrical system replacement (August 2024), with associated costs totaling over $200,000.

Prior to the recent fire, the building had various maintenance and compliance issues. In 2020, there were concerns about fire protection equipment and hood/duct system non-compliance, while in 2001, several fire safety violations were documented, including issues with fire extinguishers and gas meter instructions, though these were abated by January 2002. Historical records show various improvement projects, including a kitchen and bath remodel (2024), reroofing work (2006), and several other maintenance activities in the 1980s and 1990s.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges as documented through 311 calls, including issues with graffiti, sewage backup, and garbage management. The current building owners, Lee Shing Kit & Julie, are actively working on addressing the fire damage and related violations, as evidenced by the multiple permits and repair work scheduled for 2024. The most recent building and fire violations regarding sleeping area requirements from March 2024 have been rescinded, indicating some progress in addressing regulatory compliance issues.
