1628-1630 La Playa, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1628-1630 La Playa is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1905 and currently owned by Torres Enrique Andres Munoz, the building has undergone several significant modifications over its lifetime. The most recent major work was completed in July 2023, involving a $26,000 reroofing project, following previous roofing work in 2000 to address existing rotten roofing.

The building underwent a horizontal addition in 1998, and there were earlier attempts to expand the rear yard and add parking in 1997, though this permit was withdrawn. The property has a concerning history of maintenance and legality issues, including a housing inspection services complaint filed in April 2016 regarding the possible presence of an illegal in-law unit, expired permits, and unauthorized work. This complaint noted the property was not legally permitted as a duplex despite being marketed as such.

While the building underwent gas line testing in 2011, there have been no documented internal safety violations in recent years. The surrounding area has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, particularly on utility poles in 2018-2019, though these were external rather than building-related problems. More recently, in early 2025, there have been some garbage and debris complaints near the property, as well as a confirmed homeless encampment situation in November 2024, though these primarily relate to public space rather than the building itself.
