3638 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3638 Taraval Street in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood was built in 1959 and is currently owned by Chan Kar Wei & Vera M Trs. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past few decades, including reroofing projects in 1997 and 2012, and a 200-amp electrical service conversion to underground wiring in 2005. Two routine housing inspections conducted in 1997 and 2001 showed no active violations.

Recent history of the property shows ongoing issues with parking violations, particularly regarding blocked driveways, with multiple enforcement actions taken between 2022 and 2024. The most recent building-related incident was reported in October 2024, involving property damage potentially caused by a tree, which remains under investigation. The building experienced one documented fire incident (cause: unintentional) in the past, though fortunately it resulted in no civilian injuries.

A street tree maintenance issue was recorded in 2022, with the city indicating that while the tree was not presenting immediate safety concerns, it would be addressed under the city's StreetTreeSF program's maintenance schedule. The building's permit and complaint history suggests regular maintenance and compliance with building codes, with no recent pattern of serious violations or safety concerns. The property has maintained active compliance with housing inspections, with no unresolved violations on record since 2001. The most recent permits on file indicate regular upkeep of the building's infrastructure, though the age of some systems (1959 construction) may warrant attention soon.
