3215-3217 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 3215-3217 Market Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, built in 1926 and currently owned by Read Douglas & Li Samantha. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most recently including a completed bathroom remodeling project valued at $26,000 in early 2024, which involved both plumbing and electrical work with the installation of new LED lighting and outlets.

The property has seen substantial upgrades to its systems, including the installation of 19 solar PV modules (3.81 kW total) in 2020, replacement of two furnaces with heat pumps (permit expired), and a new electrical panel with EV charger installation in 2019. Major renovations have focused on kitchen modernization, with comprehensive updates in 2009 including plumbing, electrical work, and energy-efficient lighting installations, followed by bathroom improvements in 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing attention to structural safety, particularly regarding a three-story rear deck and staircase that required stabilization in 2006 after being identified as a safety concern, along with significant dry rot repairs and stair replacement work in the same year.

The property has experienced some exterior maintenance issues, with multiple reports of graffiti on surrounding sidewalks between 2018-2019 (which were determined to be PG&E markings in one instance), and a sidewalk blockage by privately maintained greenery in 2022 that required enforcement intervention. A rent board callback in early 2022 confirmed approval of an exemption request for both units. The building's history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, with particular attention to sustainability features like solar installation, though some permits related to the 2020 furnace replacement and a 2006 deck replacement were either not completed or canceled.
