1621-1623 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit mixed-use building at 1621-1623 Irving Street in the Inner Sunset neighborhood is a 4-story structure built in 1907, currently owned by Edward Y & Janet Romanov. The property underwent significant redevelopment between 2009-2012, during which it transitioned from a primarily residential building to include commercial spaces and modern amenities. Major improvements included the installation of a fire alarm system ($9,100), fire sprinklers throughout the building, three fireplaces, six bathrooms, a new electrical system with 400-amp service, and a 4-car parking lift.

During the renovation period, multiple building complaints were filed between 2010-2011 regarding construction-related issues, including concerns about foundation damage to neighboring properties, noise violations, and unauthorized work. These complaints were generally addressed within weeks. More recent history shows the building has maintained compliance with safety requirements, though fire safety violations were recorded in 2017-2018 regarding sprinkler systems and alarm systems, which were subsequently abated.

The property has been subject to recent neighborhood issues as documented in 311 calls, including parking violations, street maintenance concerns, and encampment reports on the adjacent public space (ongoing as of 2024). The most recent building permit activity was recorded in February 2024, indicating completion of final inspections for previously approved work. Two significant building-related complaints were filed in 2019 regarding an alleged illegal unit in a street-level commercial space, though these cases were marked as not active. A series of street space permits were obtained between 2010-2011, likely related to the extensive renovation work that took place during that period.
