3149 California St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3149 California Street, owned by California Street Complex H, was constructed in 1928 and has undergone several significant renovations and safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Cost: $104,856) to comply with seismic safety requirements, and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2017 to meet current fire code standards (Cost: $12,000). Recent improvements include a complete reroofing project in 2022 (Cost: $62,760) and the installation of a new steam heating boiler in the same year.

The building has seen substantial unit modernization work, with several apartments receiving upgrades to kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems between 2015 and 2020, including Units 2E, 5E, 9E, and 10E, all incorporating new fixtures and modern amenities. The property had several housing inspections in 2016 that identified various issues, including requirements for smoke enclosure door repairs, fire proofing, and boiler operation permits, all of which were subsequently addressed by July 2016. Historical complaints from 2003-2004 regarding emergency exits and stair repairs were also resolved.

While there were some complaints about noise and appliance issues in earlier years, most recent records indicate these problems have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety systems and prompt response to violations, with all known issues being addressed and closed. Recent parking enforcement records (2018-2019) show multiple incidents of driveway blocking, though these are typical urban enforcement matters unrelated to building conditions.
