3450 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114
The 5-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building at 3450 Market St in Twin Peaks, owned by Hoo Lan Yuk Chan and built in 1974, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017-2018 (with concrete grade beam revisions) at a cost of $150,000, achieving Tier 3 compliance and receiving a Certificate of Final Completion. Between 2011 and 2018, various window and door replacements were performed, including window and patio door upgrades in multiple units to meet modern energy efficiency standards.
The building's maintenance history shows recurring concerns about fire safety and building systems, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2005 and 2024. Recent tenant complaints filed in 2023-2024 indicate ongoing issues with elevator reliability, garage door functionality, window maintenance, and water intrusion problems. During March 2024, serious fire safety concerns were raised regarding the lack of automatic fire sprinklers in the garages and inadequate maintenance of fire extinguishers in common areas.
The building's elevator system, which appears to have been last permitted in 2011, has been reported as unreliable and potentially unsafe. While several historical violations have been abated, including those related to fire escapes and combustible storage, the recurrence of similar issues suggests persistent maintenance challenges. Two active complaints from 2023-2024 regarding window frames and garage door conditions are currently under review by Housing Inspection Services.
