The property at 182-184 London St is a two-unit, single-story multi-family residential building built in 1900, currently owned by Liu Sun W, and located in the Excelsior neighborhood. The building's recent history is marked by numerous significant concerns, particularly regarding unauthorized modifications and safety compliance issues. In 2016-2017, the property underwent several major renovations, including a legalizasyon of a lower floor unit, foundation work, and various interior remodels, during which multiple violations were recorded related to lead paint hazards and unauthorized changes.

More concerning recent events include multiple fire code violations documented between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent violations in November 2024 involving emergency lighting, sprinkler systems, and standpipe issues. A pattern of unauthorized modifications and safety concerns re-emerged in 2020-2021, with complaints about illegal in-law units, improper electrical and plumbing work, and concerns about insulation and ventilation. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of completed permits for various improvements, including a fence installation and window replacements in 2019, but also reveals instances of expired permits and unauthorized work.

Recent 311 calls from January 2025 primarily relate to street cleaning issues, including reports of debris and abandoned items near the property. The building's electrical and fire safety systems have required multiple corrections over the years, with several instances of alarm system issues and various fire safety violations that needed to be addressed. While many of these issues have been marked as "Not Active" or "Abated," the recurring nature of violations, particularly regarding fire safety and unauthorized modifications, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining proper permits and compliance with safety regulations. The property's history shows substantial investment in repairs and improvements, as evidenced by multiple building and renovation permits, but also indicates ongoing scrutiny from regulatory authorities regarding compliance with building codes and safety standards.
