3161-3165 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit residential building at 3161-3165 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Josephine L. Meskan, is a three-story flats structure built in 1905. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably the installation of a limited-use, three-story elevator in 2016 ($50,000), and comprehensive plumbing updates including water heater replacement and gas line modifications to accommodate new meters in accordance with PG&E requirements.

The property experienced two instances of fire code violations in 2019 and 2021, though records indicate these were subsequently abated. Historical improvements from 2001-2002 included enclosing the under-house area, constructing a new entry porch, and interior remodeling work. Recent records show multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, primarily related to parking violations and occasional encampment issues in the vicinity.

The building is currently subject to an active routine housing inspection that was filed in 2000, and while there have been multiple fire safety inspections and violations in recent years, there are no active safety concerns currently on file. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with most recent building permits focusing on routine infrastructure maintenance rather than addressing specific deficiencies or urgent repairs. The most recent significant building improvement was a street space permit issued in 2019, though its specific purpose and cost were not provided in the records.
