437-441 Duboce Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 437-441 Duboce Avenue, owned by Feng Bin, was constructed in 1890 and contains four units. The property has experienced ongoing vacancy issues, with the most recent vacant storefront complaint filed in October 2023.

Previous renovation attempts to convert a ground-floor laundry space into residential units and a limited restaurant have been either canceled or withdrawn. The building has a documented history of maintenance concerns, particularly during the early 2000s, including water damage, plumbing issues, mold growth, and interior surface problems, though these were officially abated by March 2000.

More recent concerns have centered around graffiti and the vacant storefront situation, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding graffiti issues and exterior maintenance. The property has had minimal fire-related incidents, all of which were primarily related to system malfunctions or false alarms, with no civilian injuries reported. While building permits indicate some maintenance work has been performed, including a reroofing project in 2009, the history of uncompleted renovation projects and recurring vacancy issues suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining active occupancy in this historic structure.
