3232 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The multi-family residential building at 3232 Buchanan Street in Cow Hollow is a two-story, four-unit apartment structure built in 1925, currently owned by Fj Lee Limited Liability Co. The building has undergone several maintenance and regulatory events through its history, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in 2000-2008. During this period, the property faced multiple fire safety violations including combustible storage issues, egress obstructions, and fire extinguisher concerns, all of which were ultimately abated by June 2008.

The building underwent some infrastructure improvements with a roof replacement in 2001 ($8,300) and a furnace change-out in 2008. An expired permit from 1992 concerning exterior siding installation is also on record. More recent history shows ongoing concerns with the surrounding area, particularly regarding parking violations, with multiple complaints about vehicles blocking driveways recorded between 2021 and 2024.

There are also recent street maintenance issues, including hazardous materials and waste removal cases in 2021-2023, and an open sidewalk defect case from June 2022 regarding a collapsed sidewalk. While the building appears to have addressed its major safety violations from the 2000s, the recent history shows primarily external infrastructure and parking-related challenges rather than internal building safety concerns. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the resolution of the 2008 violations, with no recorded building code violations in recent years.
