541-549 Moraga St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 541-549 Moraga St in the Inner Sunset, owned by Howard David & Sivilay Seng, has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1940. Most notably, in September 2019, voluntary seismic strengthening work was initiated at the ground floor, including the installation of a steel moment frame with concrete grade beam, with a projected cost of $100,000 (four permitted applications at $25,000 each).

More recently, in September 2024, the building underwent mainline sewer and house trap replacement work, marking the most recent major infrastructure upgrade. The property has experienced various maintenance and service issues in recent years, with the most significant being dual sewer-related incidents in July 2024 involving a water leak and sewage back-up discharge from a side sewer vent. The building also faced a hazardous materials situation in September 2021, which was promptly resolved within one week.

More recent concerns from 2024 include multiple issues related to garbage and debris on the property (all resolved), along with several parking enforcement matters and sidewalk maintenance concerns involving tree root damage. An open excessive noise complaint was filed in September 2024, and there is an ongoing sidewalk defect issue related to tree roots that was reported in December 2024. While these incidents suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, many have been resolved promptly, and the recent sewer system upgrade indicates attention to critical infrastructure needs.
