2539 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 2539 Irving Street in the Central Sunset, owned by the Rosa Hong Nguyen Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and structural issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2023, there were multiple complaints and violations related to water intrusion problems, including a clogged and leaking light-well that adversely affected neighboring properties and caused potential safety and health concerns. These water-related issues appeared to be linked to roof maintenance problems and drainage system failures, with one complaint in December 2022 noting flooding that affected both this property and the adjacent commercial building at 2545 Irving Street.

The building's maintenance history shows various permitted work dating back to the 1980s, including structural upgrades in 1990, though many of these permits are now expired. More recently, between 2024 and 2025, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property, primarily focusing on sidewalk cleanliness issues, parking violations, and some graffiti concerns, though these are less directly related to building safety or condition. The property has a documented history of water-related infrastructure issues, with the most recent complaints suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building's permit history shows some attempts at upgrading and maintaining the structure over the decades, including a 1990 structural lateral upgrade with hold downs and shear walls, and a 1997 reroofing project. While there was one fire-related incident in 2011 involving hazardous materials, it was marked as corrected the same day. Current concerns primarily revolve around exterior maintenance and drainage issues, with the most significant building-related complaints centering on water intrusion problems that have affected both this building and its neighboring properties. The building has been subject to multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding various issues, though many of these relate to external factors such as street cleanliness and parking rather than direct building concerns.
