3700 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3700 16th Street in Corona Heights, owned by the Iveli Thomas Estate, was constructed in 1959 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2020, a critical seismic safety improvement that had previously faced compliance issues in 2019-2014, when the property was cited for not meeting the San Francisco Building Code requirements.

The building has received regular maintenance attention, including a roof replacement in 2012 (following a 2002 installation of a 4-ply t&g roof system), replacement of 20 windows in 2002, and updates to the garage facilities in 2016 with the installation of three sectional wood doors and electrical openers. Historical records from the early 2000s show the building faced multiple building and fire code violations in 2002, including issues with weather-proofing, stairs, the central alarm system, and window repairs, though these were all abated by April 2003. The property has undergone routine inspections since then, with the most recent documented inspection being a scheduled routine inspection in 2010 that remains active.

There have been several 311 calls in 2024 regarding various issues, primarily related to MTA parking traffic signs and illegal postings, with the most recent being about improper affixation and defacement of signs. The building's fire incident record shows only two medical assist calls with no civilian injuries recorded. The property's soft-story retrofit status is now listed as complete with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.
