2945 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2945 Irving Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood, currently owned by Victor Law, was constructed in 1960 and has experienced several notable events throughout its history. Most recently, in May 2024, a significant reroofing project costing $24,800 was permitted.

The building has faced several serious structural issues, particularly in 2018 when there were problems with a retaining wall that endangered both the property and adjacent neighbor's foundation, resulting in multiple required retrofits, emergency shoring work, and ongoing monitoring. A cluster of violations from late 2002 related to fire safety issues, including smoke detectors, egress obstruction, and gas shutoff tools, were all adequately addressed by December 2002. The property has also experienced various maintenance and housing quality issues over the years, including complaints about mold and mildew (2016), bathroom ventilation problems and dry rot windows (1999), and unauthorized auto body repair in the garage (1994).

Recent municipal service calls near the property (2020-2024) indicate ongoing maintenance needs in the vicinity, though these are primarily street and sidewalk-related issues such as pavement defects and sanitation concerns, rather than problems directly related to the building itself. Planning records show efforts to address the 2018 retaining wall violation through permitted work to rebuild the wall to comply with city requirements. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of addressing violations and permits relatively promptly, as evidenced by the 2002 fire safety violations being resolved within approximately one month, and the current progress on the 2024 reroofing project.
