3330 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building at 3330 Buchanan Street in the Marina district, owned by Alford Trust, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $120,000 to improve seismic safety. Recent electrical upgrades include the completion of breaker panel swaps in October 2024 and installation of an underground electrode in April 2019, following a comprehensive rewiring of all plugs, lights, and switches in 2014.

The building has addressed various maintenance needs, including sewer line repairs in 2019 and multiple roofing projects, though an expired roofing permit from 1999 remains on record. Historical compliance issues in 2000 regarding security requirements and gas shutoff tools were promptly resolved within two weeks. The property has demonstrated ongoing maintenance attention through regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine inspection recorded in 2016.

A fire alarm system violation was issued in March 2018 but has since been abated. There have been some recent environmental and infrastructure challenges near the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between June and November 2024 regarding sidewalk cleaning and abandoned vehicles. These external issues appear to be more related to street conditions than building-specific problems. The building's permit history shows regular attention to required maintenance and safety upgrades, including historical plywood replacement work in 1992 and various street space permits in 2019, indicating active property management and compliance with building safety requirements.
