3035-3053 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, 12-unit multi-family apartment building at 3035-3053 Steiner Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Survivors Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1909. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 to improve seismic safety, along with the installation of Ufer ground system in new footing in July 2015, demonstrating compliance with modern safety requirements.

The property has maintained its exterior integrity through various siding repairs and replacements, with recent work documented in 2020 involving approximately 500 square feet of siding replacement and painting on the south wall, though this work was not visible from the street. The building has faced and addressed multiple safety concerns over the years, most notably in 2007-2008 when the property underwent remediation of several fire safety violations, including the removal of barbecues from fire escapes, eviction of combustible storage, correction of egress obstructions, and gas utility safety improvements. A subsequent routine inspection in 2018 revealed violations related to sprinkler service and alarm system maintenance, which were subsequently abated.

The building's systems have received periodic updates, including a water heater replacement in 2011 and various electrical and plumbing improvements, though some permits from 2002-2005 are now expired. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior concerns, with current 311 calls focusing on an overgrown tree and sidewalk defect as of 2024, as well as several parking enforcement requests. The property has maintained active compliance with all major building codes since its original construction, though its age has required ongoing maintenance of various building systems including roofing, stairs, and fire safety equipment.
