1541-1543 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1541-1543 Irving Street, owned by the Xiao/Zhang Family Trust, is a two-story structure built in 1953 in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime, including three roofing projects (most recently in 2008 at a cost of $4,000), kitchen renovations in 2000, and the installation of vinyl siding on one side in 1994.

A notable infrastructure upgrade occurred in 2004 with a 200-amp underground electrical conversion. The building has faced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations documented between 2019 and 2021, including issues with fire extinguisher servicing, emergency lighting, hazard materials storage, and alarm system maintenance. While these violations were marked as abated, they indicate a pattern of fire safety non-compliance during that period.

More recently, the property has experienced several external challenges, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in late 2024 through early 2025, including reports of graffiti, illegal parking, and encampments in the vicinity. Three recent graffiti incidents were reported in 2025, and there have been multiple reports of illegal parking between November 2024 and January 2025, though most were either unable to locate the issue or could not be validated when officers responded. The presence of garbage and debris on the street (including a mattress and human waste) was reported and resolved in late 2024.
