6-8 30th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 6-8 30th Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Henry Wong, is a 2-story flats/duplex structure built in 1908. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs in 2023, including substantial bathroom and kitchen remodels ($95,000), rear stair repairs ($5,500), and subsequent remediation work to address dry rot and code violations ($14,500). Of particular concern is an active building violation from August 2023 regarding unauthorized construction work on the rear stairs that exceeded permitted scope, including complete reframing of two flight stairs with landings and widening of concrete landing areas.

The building's maintenance history shows efforts to address various infrastructure issues, including a 2016 sump pump replacement, 2008 reroofing, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades. However, several troubling incidents have been recorded over the years, including a 2016 complaint about illegal plumbing work and sewage issues in the basement, and more recently (2017-2018), problems with flooding in the light well and rodent infestation. Historical records from 1999 indicate various maintenance issues that were subsequently resolved.

The property has experienced three fire-related incidents since 2000, though none resulted in civilian injuries, with causes ranging from a natural gas leak to outside rubbish fires. Recent activity around the property in early 2025 shows continued maintenance and compliance issues, with multiple garbage and debris complaints, water leak reports, and graffiti incidents. The most recent documented building permit activity as of November 2023 relates to exterior stairs and window work, indicating ongoing efforts to address building maintenance and code compliance matters.
