3518 Moraga St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 3518 Moraga Street in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood has undergone several significant events since its construction in 1940. The most recent and concerning issues, dating from late 2024, involve multiple infrastructure problems including a collapsed sidewalk, curb defects, and a water leak related to a fire hydrant – with two sidewalk defect reports remaining open as of January 2025.

The property has a documented history of fire-related incidents, including two building fires (one categorized as unintentional), cooking-related incidents, and co-related safety checks, though notably, there have been no reported civilian injuries. A carbon monoxide detector was activated without any confirmed CO presence in one instance. Earlier modifications to the property include a completed building permit from 1990 for the installation of a family room and bathroom on the ground floor.

The building's recent history shows some maintenance issues being addressed, as evidenced by the resolution of multiple garbage and debris complaints. There has been one unrelated fire complaint from 2010 that was determined to have no merit. The surrounding area has experienced tenant buyouts in nearby buildings (at 1735 41st Avenue, 1770 41st Avenue, 1662 40th Avenue, 1838 42nd Avenue, and 1782 42nd Avenue) between 2020 and 2022, with buyout amounts ranging from $16,000 to $60,000 for various numbers of tenants, suggesting significant residential turnover and redevelopment activity in the immediate vicinity.
