The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 490-494 Lisbon Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, currently owned by the Ming Fai Kwan Trust, was constructed in 1938 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in July 2023, there were major tenant complaints regarding no heat, water leakage near the kitchen, mold, and pest infestation, followed by additional issues of water damage and a broken window in August 2023. These problems were officially addressed through building permit #202308144328, which involved repairs to heating and water systems, bathroom fixtures, and drainage.

The property has undergone multiple renovations over the years, including a significant 2014 kitchen and bathroom remodel costing $9,000. More recent complaints from 2023 indicate recurring issues with building systems, though these latest problems were addressed through proper permitting and repairs.
