466-468 London St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-unit residential building at 466-468 London Street in San Francisco's Excelsior neighborhood was constructed in 2009 following a controversial period of construction and violations. The property underwent significant development from 2005-2009, including a $350,000 remodel with horizontal and vertical additions after the demolition of a single-family dwelling in 2004.

During this period, the building faced multiple violations, including a major complaint in 2000 regarding illegal basement unit conversion with serious safety concerns such as inadequate heating, unapproved wiring and plumbing, lack of fire-resistant materials, and missing smoke detectors. These violations led to penalties and required corrections, which were finally abated in 2009. Recent records from 2024-2025 indicate typical urban maintenance issues, including parking violations and garbage concerns, though there are no active building code violations or major complaints on file.

The building's construction involved proper permitting for various systems, including plumbing (new bathroom and kitchen installations, heating equipment and ventilation) and electrical work (extensive new wiring with 34 lights, 30 switches, 67 receptacles, and 3 panels). The property has been through multiple inspections and permit revisions, including a notable correction in 2009 regarding the story count of the building, which was officially documented as three stories. While the building experienced significant challenges during its construction period, recent records suggest stable conditions with routine urban maintenance matters rather than building-specific issues.
