824 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 824 Valencia Street, owned by Colbert T Dare and Patty Chu, has been experiencing significant surface issues throughout 2024, with multiple reports of graffiti affecting public spaces around the property. Between May and November 2024, there were at least six documented incidents of graffiti on the sidewalk, street furniture, and parking meters in the vicinity, all of which were addressed by city services.

The most concerning recent issue is an open case from January 2024 regarding a lifted sidewalk defect, which represents a safety concern for pedestrians. Other maintenance matters have included instances of hazardous material removal (glass) in May 2024 and a report of waste on the street in April 2024.

On a more positive note, the building has undergone some improvements, including recent work to replace the entryway aluminum doors with new 36-inch wide ADA-compliant doors and hardware, demonstrating commitment to accessibility requirements. This work was properly permitted and approved, along with a historical business recognition for the adjacent Paxton Gate establishment. While the building has maintained compliance with necessary permits and inspections, the pattern of graffiti and sidewalk maintenance issues throughout 2024 suggests ongoing challenges with building surroundings that may affect resident experience and public safety.
