458 Girard St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-unit residential building at 458 Girard Street in Portola is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1961, currently owned by Jimmy Mah. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years, most notably in 2021, when comprehensive upgrades were completed including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical rewiring throughout all living spaces, and window replacements in multiple rooms.

During this period, the electrical system received substantial improvements with a sub-panel upgrade to 100 amps, and plumbing work was also performed for the kitchen and bathroom renovations. An attempt was made in 2021 to address an illegal living space conversion involving 521 square feet of basement area, though this permit was ultimately withdrawn. The building has experienced some recent infrastructure challenges, including a sewage backup incident in November 2023 that required attention from PUC Sewer Operations.

There have also been multiple reports of parking violations in the vicinity, particularly related to sidewalk parking and blocked driveways, with several citations issued throughout 2023 and early 2024. The property underwent a tenant buyout in April 2022, resulting in a payout of $44,000 to four tenants, though this was subsequent to the 2021 renovations. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with prior completed work including a window replacement project in 2002, and the recent building improvements suggest ongoing investment in the property's infrastructure, despite the withdrawal of the basement conversion permit.
