3000-3002 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story duplex at 3000-3002 Pierce Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Stephanie Kuo Cheney, has a mixed history of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1904. The building underwent significant upgrades in 2010 with the installation of a 5.04 kW solar system and a 225-amp electrical service upgrade. Earlier permitted work included a 2007 installation of a 45-minute rated fixed window in the property line wall.

However, there have been several concerning events, including three instances of unauthorized deck modifications between 1996 and 2019, and multiple roofing projects with various permit statuses from 1996 through 2002, some of which were revoked or cancelled. The property has a documented history of illegal unit issues, with complaints filed in 1987 (for two rooms and a bath in the basement), 1996 (wood rot on back stairs), and 2000 (illegal unit downstairs). Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external infrastructure and maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk defects, including root damage, blocked sidewalks, and various sanitation matters.

These calls suggest ongoing challenges with the public right-of-way maintenance around the building. The building's emergency response history shows two fire-related incidents, both in 2008 - a false alarm and a smoke detector malfunction, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The property's documented history from permits, complaints, and recent 311 calls indicates a pattern of maintenance challenges, both inside and outside the building, though recent electrical and solar upgrades suggest some modernization efforts have been made.
