3066-3068 California St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 3066-3068 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by William Jr & Betty J Bowser, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent being a $20,000 rear egress stair remodel initiated in January 2023. This followed a 2022 complaint regarding unauthorized stair repairs, which ultimately led to violations for work done without the proper permits and inspections.

Prior maintenance work includes a completed reroofing project in 2017 costing $17,500, and in 2014, the building underwent front siding replacement at a cost of $12,000. Historical records show earlier issues with the rear stairs dating back to 2006-2007, when violations were documented regarding handrail requirements, which were eventually resolved. The building has maintained regular inspections over the years, with documented routine checks in 2001, 2004, and 2006, though some repairs and maintenance have raised compliance concerns.

In 2006, multiple interior and exterior issues were noted, including problems with lead paint, handrails, and wall conditions, all of which were addressed by early 2007. The property's maintenance history shows an active approach to addressing building requirements, though there have been instances of work proceeding without proper permits, as seen in the 2022 stair-related violations. The most recent planning record from 1996 indicates an approved replacement work that complied with specific exemptions under San Francisco planning codes, demonstrating adherence to local regulatory requirements for significant renovations. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by recent 311 calls, including reports of abandoned vehicles, hazardous materials, and general maintenance requests, though these are more indicative of neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific issues.
