3122 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 3122 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1915, has undergone significant improvements and faced several challenges over the past few years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) and installed fire safety upgrades, including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade and sprinkler system installation, with the most recent fire-related work being completed in early 2024 at a cost of $34,393. The property has been active in maintaining compliance with safety regulations, though it experienced some violations between 2019-2021 related to the soft-story retrofit program and boiler permit requirements, which were subsequently resolved.

Recent building complaints (2022 and 2024) have been filed regarding unauthorized construction work in different units, with the most recent complaint from June 2024 currently marked as active. The building underwent substantial modernization between 2019-2024, including the construction of two ADUs in 2020, various unit renovations, and significant infrastructure updates such as a new condensing boiler system and wall-mounted radiators. Several permits and violations from previous years (2009-2019) related to basic maintenance issues like plumbing repairs, smoke detector functionality, and heating system problems, have all been resolved.

The property has also faced multiple garbage and debris management issues in its vicinity as evidenced by several 311 calls in late 2024, though these are external to the building itself. Fire safety has been a recurring focus, with three fire-related complaints in December 2023, including a fire escape violation that was addressed promptly. The building's record shows a pattern of addressing violations and completing required safety improvements, though there have been periodic concerns about unauthorized unit modifications and construction activities.
