3250 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 3250 Market Street in Corona Heights, owned by the Chang Family Trust The and constructed in 1959, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. The most recent concerning issue was reported in April 2024, when a tenant reported a hazardous condition involving a rotting deck that was deemed unusable. Between 2000-2001, the building experienced multiple water-related problems, including documented water damage and high humidity issues along with moisture-related violations in 2000, and extensive water damage in Unit #1 with leaks originating from Unit #3.

The property has a history of fire safety concerns, as evidenced by a 2011 violation regarding combustible storage and fire proofing requirements, though all these violations were ultimately abated. The building underwent significant improvements in the late 1990s, including a vertical addition completed in 1998 and conversions of storage to living space. Earlier maintenance issues included termite repairs completed in 1990.

More recent history shows recurrent external maintenance challenges, particularly regarding graffiti and sidewalk cleanliness, with multiple 311 calls between 2021-2025 related to these issues. While many past violations and complaints have been resolved, the most recent structural concern regarding the deck suggests ongoing maintenance needs. The building's permit history indicates various renovation attempts, with some permits expiring without completion, including a 2000 permit related to fire escape work that is particularly notable given the building's later fire safety violations.
