3450 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 3450 Pierce Street in the Marina, owned by Joanne M Gomez Separate Pro, was constructed in 1929 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, in 2014, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic reinforcement work, which included new shear walls and grade beams, at a cost of $45,000. The building's systems have seen substantial upgrades, including the installation of a new 236.5k BTU steam boiler and hot water heater with a 119-gallon storage tank in 2018.

Recent fire safety concerns have emerged, with a violation issued in September 2023 regarding exit maintenance, though this was subsequently addressed. The building has a history of fire safety inspections between 2015 and 2023, with various issues related to extinguishers and alarm systems being documented and mostly resolved, though a 2022 extinguishers complaint was found to have no merit. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking in recent years, with multiple documented incidents between 2020 and 2024, though these are primarily parking enforcement matters.

Historical records show past concerns with water damage in 1983 requiring wall and ceiling repairs, and a roofing project dating back to 1990. The soft-story retrofit completed in 2014 and the more recent heating system upgrade in 2018 demonstrate the owner's commitment to improving the building's structural integrity and systems. While there have been periodic fire safety concerns, most issues appear to have been addressed promptly, with the most recent violation in September 2023 being the only active matter as of October 2023.
