4310 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

4310 17th Street is a three-unit, one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Stewart Rex Oaten 2004 Revo. The property has undergone numerous repairs and renovations over the years, with significant work occurring between 2000 and 2013, including window replacements, rotted wood siding repairs, and various interior renovations. Of particular concern is the recent history of unauthorized construction activity and building code violations.

Most notably, there are currently active complaints (202303792 from February 2023 and 202427661 from August 2024) regarding unpermitted construction of a deck and stairs at the rear of the property, with complaints about late-night construction noise and potential fire hazards from gas heaters on unstable platforms. The building has a documented history of code violations from 2001 related to security, fire safety, and building maintenance issues, though these were officially abated in 2002. Previous enforcement actions included the removal of an illegal gas stove in 2001 and conversion of an unlawful dwelling unit into storage in 2000.

The property has also experienced recurring issues with improper waste management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding toter placement (most recently in 2024). Infrastructure concerns such as pavement defects, tree maintenance needs, and sidewalk issues have been reported through 311 systems, with some cases still open as of 2023. While there have been no recorded civilian injuries from gas leaks or smoke detector activations in recent years, the pattern of unauthorized construction, late-night work, and waste management issues suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and compliance with building codes. The most recent building violations, filed in February 2023, remain active and involve construction work without proper permits, with the property undergoing similar unauthorized modifications as reported in past complaints.
