3459 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 18-unit multi-family residential building at 3459 Divisadero St, completed in 1929, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work in recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit as a Tier 4 soft-story building in 2018, with an associated cost of $180,000. Recent improvements include a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovation in unit #106 in 2022, costing $50,000, with similar upgrades performed in various other units over the years (e.g., units #205 and #306).

The building has maintained its infrastructure with a new 400-amp electrical service installation in 2007 serving all 18 units, a steam boiler replacement in 2010, and various plumbing upgrades including repairs to the water line in 2021. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues historically, with complaints about lack of heat reported in 1995, 2001, and 2020, though these matters were ultimately resolved. A complaint regarding unauthorized construction work in October 2020 was investigated and closed by December 2020.

The building's compliance history shows proper attention to safety requirements, including the installation of required directional signs in 2006 and maintenance of fire escape systems, though there was one fire alarm-related complaint in 2009 that was promptly corrected. Recent maintenance and service requests have primarily involved routine issues such as parking violations and street cleaning needs, with all such matters being addressed as evidenced by closed case resolutions. The property management has demonstrated ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the building, as evidenced by the regular schedule of improvements and prompt responses to maintenance issues. The building's documented history of improvements shows systematic upgrades to individual units while maintaining overall building safety and infrastructure systems.
