720 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 720 Valencia Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, built in 1909 and currently owned by the John R Holden Trust. The building has a significant history of permit-related issues, most notably in 2002 when unauthorized construction work was performed, including the removal of an upper rear stairway and installation of a new roof at the back of the building without proper permits. This led to multiple Notices of Violation throughout 2002-2013, though these violations were eventually abated.

More recent activity includes electrical improvements, with the installation of an outdoor outlet completed in 2019 and bathroom remodel work in 2003. The property has undergone several maintenance activities, such as sidewalk repair in 2003 and street space permits in 2016. Recent concerns have emerged in 2024, including multiple complaints about garbage and debris issues near the property, with October and August 2024 calls reporting human waste and other debris.

There is also an open noise complaint from July 2024 regarding excessive noise. The building's commercial space has undergone various changes over the years, including several approved permits for the enlargement of a veterinary clinic. The property experienced one documented fire-related incident involving smoke at an unspecified date, though no civilian injuries were reported. The most recent construction activity was recorded in May 2024, with complaints of drilling and pounding work occurring daily between 7 AM and 11 PM, which was addressed within three days.
