3143-3149 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 3143-3149 Anza Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1919 and currently owned by Baron 23 & Anza Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. Most notably, in late 2015, the property faced multiple violations including mold, damaged ceilings, inadequate ventilation, and egress obstructions, which required substantial remedial work including the removal of egress obstruction, covering vent pipes, painting, mold elimination, and bathroom ceiling repairs. The building has undergone several important structural improvements, including a comprehensive garage-level structural strengthening in 2009 costing nearly $40,000, and foundation bolting in 2004.

Earlier renovations included a kitchen remodel in 2014, bathroom fixture updates, and various electrical upgrades including the installation of smoke alarms. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, with a 2018 electrical issue complaint and a 2017 complaint about a problematic front door affecting emergency access. The building has also undergone several routine inspections, and there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking enforcement issues near the property between 2020-2024.

The most recent building-related activity is from October 2023, with an electrical permit issued for a PG&E inspection. While many historical problems have been addressed through permits and repairs, the pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding electrical systems, structural elements, and ventilation. The property has a mix of completed improvements and historical challenges that prospective tenants should consider, particularly regarding the building's age and maintenance history.
