3525 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 10-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3525 Anza St in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Adler Family Trust 2011, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1963. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018, which included the installation of new concrete caps at two hardy frame panels, bringing the property into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has a documented history of moisture-related issues, with multiple repairs for dry rot in 2011 and 2003, and more recent complaints about water damage and mold in 2015.

A 1997 complaint reported waterlogged ceilings due to plumbing problems and non-functioning smoke detectors. More recent fire safety concerns emerged in October 2023 regarding blocked exits (which was corrected) and exit maintenance (which was found to have no merit). The property has had regular maintenance and upgrades, including reroofing projects in 2004 and 2011, vinyl siding installation in 2011, and various structural repairs. Electrical work was completed in 2007 for garage door operators and receptacles.

While there have been multiple housing code violations over the years, including sanitation issues, water damage, and fire safety concerns, these have all been addressed and abated. The building's most recent documented fire violation from November 2018 was abated. Parking-related complaints have occurred periodically, with the most recent being in March 2023, though these are external to the building itself. The property successfully completed its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, demonstrating compliance with the city's earthquake safety requirements.
