2943-2947 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2943-2947 Steiner St in Cow Hollow, owned by the Archdiocese Of S F & Schl J, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues since its construction in 1902. Major improvements were carried out in 2011, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and window replacements. These renovations, which totaled over $63,000, were completed and properly signed off, though some original permits expired before final inspection.

The building received attention to its mechanical systems with the installation of a new furnace in 2011 and a sewer line including house trap replacement in 2016. The property has a history of building violations that were predominantly addressed between 2002-2006, including security, sanitation, fire safety, and interior surface issues. A particularly concerning complaint from January 2006 documented multiple safety and habitability issues in one unit, including water damage, electrical problems, and mold.

Structural concerns were reported regarding basement support beams in 2006, though these were subsequently addressed. More recent records from 2019-2024 indicate ongoing fire safety attention, with multiple fire code violations documented and corrected, particularly related to alarm systems and sprinkler maintenance. The most recent activity includes a fire code violation documented in November 2024 regarding sprinkler testing and maintenance. The building's exterior and surrounding area have experienced periodic maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to sidewalk cleaning and graffiti, though these are typical for the neighborhood and not specific to the building's condition.
