936-938 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 936-938 Irving Street is a 3-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building with a ground-floor retail space, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Dhb Sacramento Plaza Llc. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance challenges over the years. In 2004, major renovations were attempted including a 3rd-floor extension into the rear garden area and kitchen/bathroom remodels with an estimated cost of $65,000, though this permit ultimately expired.

This period was marked by construction complaints from neighbors regarding continuous noise and expired permits between 2003-2004, including a reported case of possible illegal construction and rooming house conversion in 1994. The building's systems received substantial upgrades between 2005-2007, including electrical improvements with 100-200 amp service upgrades, complete rewiring of certain areas, and plumbing work such as shower pan installation. A significant safety incident occurred in June 2007 when gas odors were reported in the entry hall and living room, though this issue was resolved within weeks.

More recent concerns include a complaint from June 2023 regarding the building being classified as a vacant commercial/business structure. The property has also experienced recurring issues with street trees causing sidewalk damage, as reported in several 2021 calls to the Department of Public Works. While the building appears to have maintained compliance with major safety requirements since 2007, the history of expired permits and construction-related complaints during the early 2000s represents the most significant period of regulatory challenges for the property.
