1216-1218 3rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1216-1218 3rd Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently held in trust by May Pai Chen. The building's maintenance record shows a significant roofing project completed in 2016 at a cost of $15,000, and a notable occupancy-related improvement from 1987 involving the legalization of first-story occupancy and construction of an interior stair.

However, the building has experienced multiple concerning issues in recent years, with the most recent complaint filed in February 2023 citing problems with heating, broken windows, widespread mold, flooring issues, and reported over-occupancy with more than 12 residents. This complaint follows a similar pattern of mold and over-occupancy concerns documented in a December 2017 complaint, indicating persistent maintenance challenges. The property has also faced several infrastructure challenges, particularly with its plumbing system, as evidenced by multiple sewage backup incidents recorded between 2012-2019, including documented issues in 2019 and 2015 involving 4-inch vent problems and root infiltration.

In 1995, there was a serious complaint about raw sewage issues affecting neighboring properties, potentially indicating historical plumbing system vulnerabilities. Historical records show attempts to address unauthorized occupancy, with complaints about illegal units in 1999, though these were marked as resolved shortly thereafter. The building's more recent history (2023-2024) shows a pattern of parking-related issues near the property, though these are external concerns unrelated to the building's condition.
