790 Sweeny St, San Francisco, CA 94134
The two-unit residential building at 790 Sweeny Street in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1944, currently owned by James Hom & Jane Wong Woo 2. The building's most significant recorded maintenance was a roofing project completed in 2011 at a cost of $6,980.
The property has experienced recurring waste management issues in early 2025, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans and debris, though most of these cases were promptly resolved by Recology. A fire-related incident occurred in June 2015 with combustible materials reported, though this complaint was determined to have no merit. Additionally, there were two fire alarm activations recorded (one due to malfunction and one unintentional) with no civilian injuries reported.
In a related development, significant fire safety violations were documented in September 2023 at nearby 801-831 Silver Avenue, including issues with extinguishers, commercial cooking systems, and corridor penetrations, though these were subsequently abated. Historical records show a completed permit from 1981, and notably, a tenant buyout occurred at a neighboring address (751 Sweeny Street) in March 2023 involving two tenants and a payout of $20,000. While the building's basic maintenance history appears relatively standard for its age, the recent pattern of waste management complaints in the vicinity suggests potential ongoing challenges with waste disposal practices in the immediate neighborhood.
