3248-3250 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit residential building at 3248-3250 Octavia Street in the Marina district, built in 1923 and currently owned by Mark Herrmann, has undergone numerous significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in July 2024, the building received active violations regarding weather protection and lead abatement procedures, with the last observation noting exterior deterioration and potential issues with a retaining wall collapse. These building code violations were formally documented on July 22, 2024, and remain unresolved.

The property has a history of heating system issues, particularly in the late 1990s, when multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of heat, though these were ultimately resolved by 2009. In 2009, the building underwent important seismic safety improvements, including foundation anchoring and garage reinforcement. Earlier renovations included comprehensive kitchen remodels in both units (2006-2008), a reroofing project (2006), termite damage remediation (2006), and installation of vinyl siding (2002).

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, including plumbing and electrical upgrades, with specific attention to kitchen modernization and safety compliance. Recent activity in 2024 has primarily involved parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between June and December 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management near the property. The most recent complaints and violations regarding weather protection and lead abatement procedures indicate the need for timely attention to building maintenance and code compliance, though these issues have yet to impact the property's historical status as a two-unit condo conversion that was approved by city planners.
