3101-3111 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The property at 3101-3111 Taraval Street is a two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1945 and containing three units. The building has experienced several significant issues over its history, most notably in 2015 when a major violation was recorded regarding unauthorized conversion of commercial space into residential use, which created multiple life/safety hazards including lack of required smoke detectors, improper fire-resistant materials, inadequate egress, and other serious code violations.

This situation was eventually addressed through a permit in 2015 that returned the ground floor to commercial use and removed unpermitted kitchen facilities. Earlier, in 2006-2007, there were concerns about an unauthorized sleeping space in the commercial premises lacking proper light, ventilation, and egress. More recent issues include plumbing repairs to the water service in 2021 and historical maintenance work such as dry rot repair in 1997 and reroofing in 1993.

The property has also generated numerous sanitation-related service calls in 2024, primarily concerning garbage and debris on adjacent sidewalks, though these appear to be primarily street maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems. There were two non-injury fire incidents recorded, classified as a good intent call and assistance to police, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's management has taken steps to address various maintenance issues over the years, as evidenced by completed permits, though the property has experienced recurring problems with unauthorized modifications and resulting code violations.
