3631-3633 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit residential building at 3631-3633 Buchanan Street in the Marina district, owned by Robert Erick Pecha, was constructed in 1954 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past decades. Most notably, recent improvements include a completed reroofing project in 2024 costing $10,500, which followed substantial electrical upgrades in 2014 that included a service panel upgrade from 60 to 100 amps, installation of various appliances, and extensive electrical infrastructure work.

The building received major interior renovations in 2013-2014, including kitchen and bathroom remodels with new fixtures, cabinets, and comprehensive electrical upgrades. The property has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2018 and 2024, including issues with alarm systems, exit maintenance, and extinguishers, though many were corrected promptly or found to have no merit upon inspection. There have been several fire-related incidents recorded, primarily involving detector activations and one minor chimney fire, but no civilian injuries were reported in any incidents.

The building's fire safety equipment and maintenance history shows a pattern of violations requiring attention, with the most recent documented violation in October 2024 related to ERRCS permits. Recent neighborhood issues noted in 2024-2025 include multiple reports of debris and waste removal needs in the vicinity of the property, though these are external to the building itself. The property has maintained compliance with major systems upgrades, including comprehensive electrical, plumbing, and fire safety improvements, though the pattern of fire code violations suggests ongoing attention to safety systems requirements has been necessary.
