3923-3925 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 3923-3925 Irving Street, constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant issues over the past decade, most notably a fire incident in December 2020 that rendered the upper floor uninhabitable, with visible damage to both the front and back of the building. Following this incident, a permit was issued in May 2021 for remedial work involving the removal of damaged sheetrock, plaster walls, ceilings, and flooring. The property has faced multiple compliance challenges, including heating system deficiencies, security concerns, and chaotic interior conditions, with the most serious violations occurring in 2012 when inadequate heating, safety hazards, and unauthorized occupancy issues were documented.

There have also been persistent maintenance and sanitary issues, including a rodent infestation reported in 2018-2019, garbage accumulation, and plumbing problems evidenced by multiple sewer backup incidents in 2017. The building had undergone various modifications and improvements over the years, including an automatic fire suppression system upgrade in 2009, furnace replacement in 2012, and restaurant-related modifications in the mid-1980s, when a ground-floor space transitioned from office to restaurant use. The property has been through multiple periods of vacancy and occupancy disputes, with significant tenant-related issues reported in 2012 including unauthorized construction work, noise complaints, and concerns about occupancy limits.

Recent maintenance history shows ongoing repairs and code compliance efforts, though several active violations from 2012 regarding heating system, security, and inspection access remain relevant. The building's current ownership under Irving 888 LLC suggests an active management structure, though the property's recent fire damage and associated recovery work indicate substantial ongoing maintenance requirements. Recent 311 calls from 2024 regarding encampments and debris issues, while not directly related to the building's condition, suggest continued neighborhood maintenance challenges. The building has also experienced various service-related issues such as graffiti, sewer problems, and noise complaints, typical of urban residential properties.
