3606-3612 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The property at 3606-3612 Taraval Street is a 2-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1950 and consisting of 4 units, currently owned by Choi Kyung Sik. The building has undergone significant modifications and improvements over the past decade, with the most notable changes including the conversion of ground-floor retail space to a bar (White Cap) and limited restaurant (Avenues SF) between 2015-2018, including façade upgrades and various mechanical, electrical, and plumbing improvements totaling over $100,000. Several historical issues have been documented, including unauthorized unit conversions, illegal construction, and multiple housing code violations in 2012-2014 regarding heating, ventilation, and safety systems, though these were generally resolved through proper permitting and repairs.

Between 2015-2020, there were multiple instances of permit expirations and renewals, particularly concerning mechanical work and storage construction, culminating in the finalization of various building and mechanical permits in 2020. More recent concerns include multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking violations and sidewalk access, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability. The building has also experienced some fire safety issues, with violations noted in 2022 and 2014, though the 2022 violation was promptly addressed.

The most recent inspections and complaints have been relatively minor, with one open 311 request from January 2025 regarding a damaged sewer vent cover. The property has maintained active compliance with most building codes since 2020, with no major habitability issues reported in recent years. The building's commercial spaces have undergone various transformations, with documented permit changes from personal service to retail and restaurant uses, and are subject to specific operating conditions regarding hours and performance.
