530-534 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 530-534 Valencia Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1906, containing three residential units and ground-floor retail space, currently owned by Suraphol & Krittiya Meeriya. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years, most notably a substantial reconstruction project in 2013 following fire damage that affected the right side of the building, requiring approximately $30,000 in repairs to the kitchen, flooring, roofing, and frame. A series of building improvements were completed in 2016, including stucco replacement and sign installations.

The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related incidents and violations in recent years, with the most concerning being an open violation as of January 2025 regarding sleeping area requirements, and previous violations related to sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and combustible materials. The property has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues, including a cluster of violations in 2001 regarding dry rot and flooring problems in the laundromat area, which were eventually resolved in 2002. More recently, there have been several instances of graffiti and maintenance issues reported through 311 calls in early 2025, and the retail space has been flagged as blighted and abandoned (formerly Los Amigos restaurant) as of June 2024.

The building's fire safety features have been a recurring focus, with multiple citations for sprinkler system and alarm system maintenance issues between 2021 and 2025. Recent complaints in early 2025 included a sewage backup issue that was resolved, and there are several open cases regarding graffiti on various surfaces including a bike rack, parking meter, and sidewalk. While the property has undergone numerous improvements and repairs over the years, including the installation of new fire suppression systems, plumbing upgrades, and electrical work, the recurring nature of some issues, particularly related to fire safety systems and building maintenance, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance across various systems and features.
