711 Duboce Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 711 Duboce Avenue, owned by the Flaherty Family Living Trust, has experienced several significant structural issues in recent years, most notably in 2023 when a potentially dangerous condition was identified regarding the west property line retaining wall, measuring approximately 8 feet tall and 25 feet long. This wall, which reportedly suffered damage due to water drainage issues from the neighboring property at 715 Duboce, prompted multiple emergency repair actions including a $30,000 project to repair the retaining wall in June 2023, followed by $7,500 in deck repairs later that summer.

Additional recent improvements to the property include the installation of a new catch basin in November 2023, a bathroom electrical upgrade in February 2021, and a reroofing project in June 2021 costing approximately $32,960. The building, constructed in 1900, has a documented history of maintenance and improvement work, including various renovation attempts throughout the 1990s, such as kitchen remodeling, deck replacements, and floor repairs, though some of these permits were either cancelled or expired.

A notable violation from 2014 involved complaints about mold growth on the building's western side, though this issue is no longer active. The property has also experienced periodic issues with graffiti in the vicinity, particularly in 2022-2024, with multiple incidents reported and subsequently resolved through city services. A recent planning violation regarding an unauthorized storage structure for garbage cans in the front setback area has been closed as abated, and records indicate the completion of the rear retaining wall repairs in compliance with the January 2023 notice of violation.
