838 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The four-unit residential building at 838 Valencia Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Colbert T Dare & Patty Chu, has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues dating back to 2010. The property, which was built in 1908, experienced significant violations in September 2010, when multiple issues were identified including problems with interior surfaces (floors, ceilings, and walls), plumbing, electrical systems, and fire safety equipment. These violations were all resolved by October 25, 2010.

In 2011, there were reports of mold, bathroom damage, and carpet issues, while 2012 brought complaints about unauthorized modifications including an alleged fifth unit and an exterior wood utility ladder, both of which were addressed by July 2012. Earlier structural concerns were documented in 2004 when repairs were made to address dry rot in the back stairs, and in 2012 when handrail modifications and window replacements were completed in response to another complaint. The most recent building activity primarily consists of street maintenance and cleaning issues, with several 311 calls between 2022-2024 regarding garbage, toter management, and general cleaning in the vicinity of the property.

These external maintenance matters were generally resolved promptly by city services. The property's historical record shows a pattern of maintenance issues largely centered on safety compliance and basic infrastructure, though these problems appear to have been addressed through the necessary permits and corrections. As of the latest available data, there are no active building violations or pending complaints, and no fire incidents have been recorded at the property.
