3943-3949 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 3943-3949 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights, built in 1922, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in 2018, there was a complaint about a dryer vent on the property line, and there is an ongoing active violation from 2016 regarding a window encroaching on the neighbor's property by three inches over their deck. The building has received multiple substantial maintenance upgrades, including a complete re-roofing in 2016 costing $29,500, window replacements in 2014, and significant electrical system upgrades in 2011 with a 400-amp service upgrade and panel board installations.

Between 2002-2013, the building faced several compliance issues that were eventually resolved, including concerns about fire safety (fire extinguisher requirements), lead paint hazards, and exterior maintenance requirements such as peeling paint and stairway repairs. The property has experienced some construction-related complaints, particularly during 2014-2015, regarding unpermitted work and debris containment issues. A historical complaint from 2004 involved inadequate heating and asbestos concerns, while a 2002 complaint noted security issues with a locked garage affecting tenant access to the water heater.

More recently, from late 2022 to 2024, there have been multiple parking-related enforcement actions outside the property, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Additionally, there was a confirmed violation regarding short-term rentals in 2019, which was resolved through penalties and a change to minimum 30-day stays. The building's recent history suggests improved maintenance and fewer serious violations in recent years, with most active issues being related to property boundaries and parking concerns rather than building safety or habitability.
