244-246 Peabody St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-unit residential building at 244-246 Peabody Street in Visitacion Valley, owned by Liang John Zhong Wen, has experienced several notable issues over the past decades. Most significantly, there have been three documented instances of unauthorized construction activity: a carport was illegally constructed in the rear yard in 2006 (14ft x 22ft structure), prompting a violation that was ultimately abated in January 2007; unauthorized concrete work occurred in March 2022; and there were concerns in July 2020 regarding unpermitted concrete work involving yellow poles in the driveway area, though this complaint's resolution status is unclear.

The building has undergone some legitimate maintenance work, including reroofing in 1992 and 2004, and a significant electrical upgrade to a 175-amp service with two meters in August 2004. More recently, there have been multiple sewer-related incidents affecting the property and surrounding area, with three flood-related service calls documented on June 25, 2023, including at least one sewage backup issue.

The building's infrastructure has been the subject of ongoing attention, with several building inspection requests filed through 311, though many of these cases have been resolved or transferred without clear violations noted. The property has also experienced some minor parking issues, including illegal parking incidents in recent years, with the most recent citation issued in December 2024. While the building has maintained basic compliance with city regulations through various permits and responses to violations, the pattern of unauthorized construction attempts and recent sewer-related issues may warrant attention to infrastructure maintenance and structural modifications.
