170 Leland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 170 Leland Avenue in Visitacion Valley is a 2-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1945, containing 3 units and classified as a Flat & Store with 4 units or less, currently owned by Cheung Wai Chi and Nui Ding Cha. The building's documented history shows several significant events, with the most pressing concerns being related to the commercial storefront vacancy issues that spanned from 2019 through 2022, during which the property received multiple violations for not complying with the Vacant or Abandoned Commercial StoreFront Ordinance.

These violations were eventually abated, with the most recent complaint being filed in March 2022. The property has undergone several improvements over the years, including a complete installation of 12 aluminum windows in 1990 and a horizontal addition in 1993.

In 2011, a comprehensive set of proposed improvements was submitted but was ultimately withdrawn, including new security gates, exterior paint, tiles, and storefront upgrades. More recently, the building's immediate surroundings have faced maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2018 and 2024, including reports of sidewalk defects (with a collapsed sidewalk noted in September 2024), general cleaning issues, and instances of waste that required attention. Two sidewalk-related complaints, one for a lifted sidewalk in September 2019 and another for a collapsed sidewalk in 2024, suggest ongoing infrastructure concerns in the public right-of-way adjacent to the property.
